Always nice to hear the continuing march of divestment in the things that kill us. Ironically HSBC Canada's being bought by the Royal Bank of Canada - who love funding oil fields.

Not surprising it took them so long. They once funded the Mexican drug cartel.

Drugs are in their DNA, they started as a bank to help with opium selling after the opium wars

I think they technically have the HQ in the City especially after the handover of Hong Kong

Very possibly. Back in the 70s it used to be in Leeds, just off City Square - a huge building, now a hotel. I remember it well, it was before they bought Midland Bank and they still went by the full name "Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Corporation".
