It’s ~ HORROR SEASON ~ 👻🎃! But what’s even scarier than Freddy Krueger is what @TD_Canada’s doing to frontline communities and to the planet through their fossil fuel funding.
Let’s put an end to their shenanigans >> https://t.co/VBPhVpJA2p #FossilBanks @GreenpeaceCA

.@scotiabank, your greenwashing tactics are as scary as Pennywise! 🤡😱

Michael Myers won’t be coming this Halloween!🎃🕯️ Climate change is too frightening, even for him.
Who plays a part in that chaos, you ask? #FossilBanks like @RBC, and it’s time to call them out.

I have the same concern about Canada's new Net-Zero Challenge (https://t.co/d9rMpuPcMz). Financial institutions have 2 years to produce a comprehensive net-zero plan. In the meantime, they get the halo-effect of signing up.

It’s great that Canada’s own @cathmckenna is leading the UN’s anti-greenwashing task force. First order of business: Canadian banks @rbc @scotiabank @TD_Canada @BMO @cibc not living up to their net zero commitments #FossilBanks https://t.co/6WSnWBvSeB @greenpeaceCA

Greta Thunberg coined “System Change, Not Climate Change.” But how can we transform the system that brought us to the climate emergency? Check out my blog on Net-Zero Procurement https://t.co/sknMs9SU6V

This is a good reminder that carbon offsets are very problematic. We can't offset our way out of the climate crisis. We must eliminate GHGs at their source. Fast.

Sustainable investing was never intended to be a substitute for government action. It is market force intended to give governments, especially in Canada and the US, the courage to take action.
