I am currently dangling from a tripod, blocking the entrance to @rbc , the 5th largest fossil fuel funder in the world because decades of politely asking banks to stop fueling climate change hasn’t worked.

We’re disrupting bank business-as-usual because BAU is killing us. Canada’s big 5 banks have put over $800 billion into fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement was signed. RBC has put $390M into the Coastal Gaslink pipeline #fossilbanks

I’m a middle-aged dad with a mild fear of heights. I hsve been politely asking banks to stop funding fossil fuels for decades but they want to sell gasoline to the arsonists and water to the fire department

So I’m asking RBC CEO Dave McKay to come down from his office tower and accept the burned remnants from a Lytton home

We want him to look at it every time that he makes a decision on whether to fund fossil fuels. We want him to agree to meet with affected communities in Lytton & Wet’suwet’en & look them in the eyes

The profits his bank is making by worsening the climate crisis have real, painful costs in the here and now.

RBC has provided $390M to the Coastal Gaslink pipeline, and the pipeline company’s parent Corp is housed in the RBC tower we are blocking today #gitimden

When banks go along with a militarized RCMP invasion of Wet’suwet’en territory to make money, that’s wrong. RBC has refused to meet with the Wet’suwet’en - they should. #WetsuwetenStrong

Hearing that RBC had a town hall for staff today & re @GreenpeaceCA protest “Leaders said the government asks them to fund this stuff [fossil fuels]” Say it ain’t so, @s_guilbeault #fossilbanks

@climatekeith @RBC Hang on in there, Keith! #FossilBanks like @RBC need to stop funding climate chaos now. As all of us experiencing fossil-fuelled disasters can testify:

@climatekeith @RBC I'm assuming you are encouraging them to start funding more nuclear? Next head to the capital and harass the politicians to get behind the nuclear option also. We can fix this problem in a few short years.

@climatekeith @RBC Your statement falls flat based on all the petroleum based products your using to accomplish this stunt. Your like the guy who protests high production animal farming then goes to get a burger for lunch.
