Talk heats climate: Canadian bank among top 5 fossil fuel investors
For all the talk by Canada's leading political party about the absence of contradiction between the environment and the economy the facts show otherwise and Canada's leading bank RBC. aka the Royal Bank of Canada has recently been reported - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/24/big-banks-trillion-dollar-finance-for-fossil-fuels-shocking-says-report - in the top 5 of banks globally for fossil fuel investment. It may also come as a surprise to many Canadians that Canada has the world's largest top mining industry. This will not change until canadian governments get serious about intervention in private sector environmental explotation.
