Divest McGill protests RBC’s fossil fuel investments

This article describes a rally hosted by Divest McGill, Climate Justice Montreal, and other local climate activist organizations as part of Change Course’s National Day of Action, demanding that Canada’s “Big Five” banks remove their presence on Canadian campuses until they meet several conditions. These conditions include the cancellation of finances for pipelines like the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission, a commitment to avoid financing future fossil fuel projects, and a promise to gain free, prior, and informed consent from Indigenous groups before any future financing decisions concerning resource extraction.
