Royal Bank Canada Again Targeted in Ottawa

On the night of March 1st, 2008, the Elgin St Royal Bank in Ottawa was - yet again - the target of the resistance to the ecocide and genocide perpetrated by VANOC and its corporate sponsors in the manifestation of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Yet again, the windows have been smashed in an act of solidarity with the poor and homeless of Coast Salish (Vancouver-Whistler), with the evnironment, which will be further destroyed as a result of the Corporate Circus, and with Indigenous peoples whose lands and cultures are being co-opted for the sake of corporate profits.

We targeted the Royal Bank of KKKlanada not only because of its sponsorship of the ecocide and genocide that is the Winter Olympics of 2010, but also because the CEO of RBC, Gordon M. Nixon, chairs the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE), a group of corporate elites behind such destructive and harmful policies and initiatives as the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). The SPP will see greater criminalization of immigrants and minorities, increased exploitation of the poor and grossly increased corporate profits at the expense of the working classes.

We reject any system that allows the exploitation of anyone by another!

Down with the RBC - supporter of domestic and global exploitation!
Down with the RBC - tool of colonialism and oppression of the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island ("North America")!
Down with the RBC - accomplice to genocide and ecocide!

Riot 2010!
