RBC CEO David McKay on Coastal GasLink: "Not fair to hold us accountable" The bank has financed coal, oil and gas to the tune of $270 billion since 2016, including rights violating projects like CGL and TMX (both condemned by UN's CERD). nationalobserver.com/2023/04ā€¦

ā€˜How dare you dismiss this?ā€™ Indigenous, climate leaders shut out of RBC meeting room

ā€œYou have offended a high chief, Mr. McKay. I hold you personally responsible for this," Wetā€™suwetā€™en Hereditary Chief Naā€™Moks says, taking aim at RBC's CEO at the bank's annual shareholder meeting.
