Shut down Toronto’s bid to host the global headquarters of the newly announced DSRB war bank. We must refuse to let war profiteers prosper in our city while people around the world suffer.

In November 2025, politicians of all stripes held a press conference in Toronto announcing their intent to solicit a new NATO+ war bank to our city - the Defence, Security, and Resilience Bank (DSRB). Present as part of the lobbying cohort were Premier Ford, Toronto’s federal Liberal caucus (headed by MP Julie Dzerowicz, and including MP Karim Bardeesy, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry), and Mayor Chow.

We call upon our elected representatives to reject this war bank. It represents another escalation of the Carney government's out-of-control military spending spree. This bank represents: (1) an unconscionable re-direction of public money away from social and public goods, and addressing the climate emergency; (2) a further shift in scarce resources to the bloated revenues and profits of war contractors and the financial industry; (3) an effort by Western powers to re-militarize society and define human security in military terms to further dominate the world market and the Global South; and (4) a deeply concerning intertwining of arms dealers and major investment banks. Further steps in this direction guarantee a war-filled future and escalating climate crisis.

Take action now to reject a vision for Toronto as a funder and facilitator of military violence around the world.
