Pride Toronto Must Break its ties with TD Bank and General Dynamics!

It is now very clear that the Canadian government is aware that General Dynamics sells armaments to the US and Isreal. On this see that CBC article by

 · CBC News · Posted: Feb 24, “Crown corp. alerted minister’s office about U.S. artillery ammunition sale connected to Israel.”

TD Bank is invested in General Dynamics and TD Bank is the major sponsor of Pride Toronto. I again remind Pride Toronto that sponsorship by TD Bank means that it is providing concrete and material support to genocide against the Palestinian people, especially in Gaza.  Just as support by TD for Coastal Gas Link provided concrete support to the attacks on the Wet’suwet’en nation. Pride Toronto must immediately break its ties with TD Bank and stop supporting genocide. There can be no Pride in apartheid and genocide! Please, do all you can to oppose General Dynamics and TD Bank and to build a Pride opposed to racism in all its forms, supporting Indigenous struggles and stressing there is no pride in genocide, apartheid and policing.
