The Competition Act is meant to protect consumers from misleading environmental claims. After @RBC admitted there were problems with their Sustainable Finance numbers, lawyers sent a letter today to the @CompBureau urging it to act. @MarkJCarney.

Competition law experts weigh in on @RBC abandoning its so-called Sustainable Finance target and climate disclosures and blaming the Competition Act. I believe the experts. #cdnpoli #greenwashing.

What's one of the world's top global bankers who understands climate change and is now Prime Minister of Canada to do when the country's biggest bank backtracks on climate action?. My take in @RicochetMedia. What do you think @MarkJCarney?. #cdnpoli.

Canada's biggest bank Royal Bank has abandoned its sustainable finance targets and further walked back its climate commitments. Ball is now in Prime Minister @MarkJCarney's court to regulate and incentivize them into action. #Election2025.

The ever persistent @Woodsideful w/ @NatObserver continuing to dig into where Canadian taxpayer dollars have been buried in the #Transmountain tar sands pipeline boondoggle. Worth the read. Trigger warning: you will be angry. #cdnpoli #Election2025.
