Big banks are bad enough, but when they team up with radical anti-abortion groups, well, that demands action.
The Bank of Montreal has a partnership with LifeCanada, an Ottawa-based “advocate for those not yet born,” with a fetus and a maple leaf in its logo, to provide the LifeCanada Mastercard. BMO donates a percentage of each transaction to the organization.
In March, in reaction to complaints from people across Canada, BMO asked LifeCanada to remove a link on its website promoting the card. Clearly the complaints are getting through—but BMO still offers the card. Email mosaik@bmo.com to let the bank know what you think of the partnership.
