Let’s make this Earth Day count

We want a healthy future for our kids. Canada’s big banks continue to lend billions for the expansion of fossil fuels, thereby profiting from planet destruction.

When community Earth Day events cannot take place, what a good idea to suggest something we can do: send messages to these banks. We can demand that they divest, defund from Line 3, and invest a lot more in renewable energy.

Transferring TFSAs and GICs to one of Hamilton’s many credit unions, is actually very simple; there are no penalties and your returns may well improve.
