As communities across Canada feel the strain of an affordability crisis, increasingly year-round climate disasters are wreaking havoc. Already this year, Indigenous communities in the tarsands region and rapidly growing Fort McMurray, Alta., have endured one evacuation for disasters striking earlier than ever. This year’s wildfires are expected to be worse than last year’s record-breaking season, exacerbated by climate change, which is being driven by fossil fuels.
This hearing is an opportunity to cut through banks’ greenwashing and redwashing—public relations attempts to use climate action and reconciliation to distract from the financing of fossil fuels and human rights violations. RBC, for instance, is under investigation by Canada’s Competition Bureau over allegedly misleading climate advertising, and faces a securities complaint over allegedly misleading investors.
