@OrionKidder If you're in Victoria this year, I'd like to meet up(outdoors) for discussions & brainstorming for progressive ideas to implement for creating a more mutually supportive society.
@OrionKidder The last time I did a solo lockdown was 2 yrs ago. I joined in with #WetsuwetenSolidarity. Chained myself to front doors of #RBC in downtown #VictoriaBC & shut it down for 4 hours. They sent over 20 cops to deal with me & I mocked them for coming out for just me & told them to call down more of their cop pals & we can have a proper street party. They were boggled by my response to their threats of arrest. I told them to quit their jobs. 2 did quit their jobs, after.
Canadian banks are leaders in funding fossil fuel expansion, report.
"global analysis on fossil fuel banking. Endorsed by 624 organizations from 75 countries, it reveals the truth of banks’ commitments to the climate by examining their financing of the #fossil fuel industry.
For the first time since 2019, a Canadian bank is the #1 annual financier of fossil fuels rather than US bank JP Morgan Chase. Royal Bank of #Canada (#RBC) showered fossil fuel projects with $41 billion dollars in 2022, including $4.8 billion for #tar sands and $7.4 billion into fracking. Canadian banks are becoming the banks of last resort for fossil fuels, providing $862 billion to fossil fuel companies since the Paris Agreement."
An #Ottawa woman plans to file a #HumanRights complaint against the #RoyalBank of #Canada after a routine trip to her branch to pick-up her credit card resulted in what she calls a dehumanizing and racist experience to prove her identity to police.

Just tried to do etransfer via web browser on laptop. Usually no issues. Today it failed with this message: "Something doesn't seem right. Sorry we are having some technical issues. Please try again later..." So I tried again. Same error. I suspected a cookie issue. Sure enough RBC now uses a 3rd party cookie "scorecardresearch" which I prevent in browser. When I allow 3rd party cookies - everything works. 😡
Why is RBC using a tracker on my etransfer?
