ʻO nā mea hana e lawe ana i nā hae wāwae he 50 e ʻōlelo ana "Stop Profit from War," "Arms Dealers Not Welcome" a me ka paʻa ʻana o nā "War Crimes Start Here" i nā hōʻailona i kāohi ʻia i nā kaʻa a me nā mea hele wāwae i ka wā i hoʻāʻo ai ka poʻe i hele e hoʻopaʻa inoa a komo i ka hale hālāwai, e kali ana i ka Canadian Defense. ʻO ka haʻi ʻōlelo mua a Kuhina Anita Anand no hoʻokahi hola. I ka hooikaika ana o na makai e wehe i ka poe kue, ua hopu lakou i na hae, a paa i ka lima a hopu i kekahi kanaka kue, a ua hookuu ia me ka hewa ole.

"ʻOiai ua ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻewalu miliona mau mea mahuka mai Ukraine mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2022, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ma mua o 400,000 mau kānaka kīwila i pepehi ʻia i nā makahiki ʻewalu o ke kaua ma Yemen, ʻoiai ma ka liʻiliʻi loa. 24 Ua pepehi ʻia nā keiki Palestinian e nā pūʻali ʻIseraʻela mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia makahiki, ʻo nā hui mea kaua e kākoʻo ana a hōʻike ʻia ma CANSEC e hōʻiliʻili nei i nā piliona kālā. ʻO lākou wale nō ka poʻe i lanakila i kēia mau kaua."

ʻO Lockheed Martin, kekahi o nā kākoʻo nui o CANSEC, ua ʻike i kāna mau kumukūʻai e piʻi ana i ka 37% pakeneka ma ka hopena o 2022, aʻo ke kumukūʻai o Northrop Grumman i hoʻonui i 40%. Ma mua o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Lūkini iā ​​Ukraine, ʻo Lockheed Martin Luna Nui ʻo James Taiclet mai la ma ke kelepona loaʻa kālā i wānana ʻo ia e alakaʻi ana ka hakakā i ka hoʻonui kālā pūʻali koa a me nā kūʻai hou aku no ka hui. ʻO Greg Hayes, Luna Nui o Raytheon, kekahi kākoʻo CANSEC, haʻiʻia nā mea hoʻopukapuka kālā i ka makahiki i hala i manaʻo ai ka hui e ʻike i "nā manawa kūpono no ke kūʻai aku ʻana o ka honua" ma waena o ka hoʻoweliweli Lūkini. He huiia: "Ke manaʻo nei wau e ʻike mākou i kekahi pōmaikaʻi mai ia mea." Ua loaʻa iā Hayes kahi pānaʻi uku makahiki he $23 miliona ma 2021, he 11% ka piʻi ʻana ma mua o ka makahiki i hala, a me $22.6 miliona ma 2022.

"Hōʻike ʻo CANSEC i ka hohonu o ka waiwai pilikino i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ke kulekele ʻē aʻe a me ka pūʻali koa o Kanada" i haʻi aku ai ʻo Shivangi M, loio kuleana kanaka a me ka luna o ILPS ma Kanada. "Ke hōʻike nei kēia hanana i ka nui o nā poʻe kiʻekiʻe o ke aupuni a me nā ʻoihana ʻoihana e ʻike i ke kaua ʻaʻole he mea pōʻino, mea luku, akā he manawa ʻoihana. Ke hōʻike nei mākou i kēia lā no ka mea ʻaʻole hana ka poʻe ma CANSEC i ka pono o ka poʻe hana maʻamau. ʻO ke ala wale nō e hoʻōki ai iā lākou ʻo ka hana ʻana i ka poʻe e hui pū a koi i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ke kālepa mea kaua. "

Ua lilo ʻo Canada i kekahi o nā mea kūʻai lima kiʻekiʻe o ka honua ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, me ka nui o nā mea kūʻai lima Kanada i $ 2.73-biliona ma 2021. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo ʻia ka hapa nui o nā mea i hoʻokuʻu ʻia no ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā helu aupuni, ʻoiai ʻo ʻAmelika ka mea lawe nui i nā mea kaua Kanada. e loaʻa ana ma mua o ka hapalua o nā mea kaua a pau o Kanada i lawe aku i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

"Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ke Aupuni o Kanada i kāna hōʻike makahiki Exports of Military Goods i kēia lā," wahi a Kelsey Gallagher, ka mea noiʻi me Project Ploughshares. "E like me ke ʻano o nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ke manaʻo nei mākou ua neʻe ʻia ka nui o nā mea kaua a puni ka honua i 2022, me kekahi o nā mea hōʻino pono kanaka a me nā mokuʻāina authoritarian."

ʻO ka wikiō hoʻolaha no CANSEC 2023 e hōʻike ana i nā pūʻali koa Peruvian, Mexican, Ecuadorean, a me Israeli a me nā kuhina e hele ana i ka ʻaha kūkā.

ʻO nā pūʻali palekana o Peru ua hoʻohewaʻia ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa i kēia makahiki no ko lākou hoʻohana pono ʻole ʻana i ka ikaika make, me ka hoʻopaʻi hoʻopaʻi hoʻopaʻi, i hopena i ka liʻiliʻi o 49 mau make i ka wā o nā kūʻē i hana ʻia mai Dekemaba a Pepeluali ma waena o kahi pilikia politika.

"ʻAʻole wale ʻo Peru akā ʻo ʻAmelika ʻAmelika a me nā kānaka o ka honua ke kuleana e kū i ka maluhia a hoʻohewa i nā mea a pau i kūkulu ʻia a me nā hoʻoweliweli i ke kaua," wahi a Héctor Béjar, ke kuhina mua o nā ʻāina ʻē o Peru, i kahi leka wikiō i ka poʻe kūʻē. ma CANSEC. "E lawe wale mai kēia i ka ʻeha a me ka make o nā miliona o ka poʻe e hānai i nā waiwai nui o nā mea kūʻai mea kaua."

I ka makahiki 2021, ua hoʻokuʻu aku ʻo Canada ma mua o $ 26 miliona i nā waiwai koa i ka ʻIseraʻela, kahi piʻi o 33% ma mua o ka makahiki i hala. Ua komo kēia ma ka liʻiliʻi he $ 6 miliona i nā mea pahū. ʻO ka noho mau ʻana o ka ʻIseraʻela ma West Bank a me nā panalāʻau ʻē aʻe ua alakaʻi i nā kelepona mai nā hui kīwila i hoʻokumu ʻia nā hui a me nā pono kanaka hilinaʻi Nānā no ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa kūʻē i ka ʻIseraʻela.

"ʻO ka ʻIseraʻela wale nō ka ʻāina i loaʻa i kahi pahu me ka hōʻike diplomatic ma CANSEC", wahi a Sarah Abdul-Karim, ka mea hoʻonohonoho me ka mokuna Ottawa o ka Palestinian Youth Movement. "Hoʻokipa pū ka hanana i nā hui pū ʻana o ka ʻIseraʻela - e like me Elbit Systems - e hoʻāʻo mau i ka ʻenehana koa hou ma Palestinians a laila kūʻai aku iā lākou ma ke ʻano he 'hoʻāʻo ʻia' i nā mea kaua e like me CANSEC. Ma ke ʻano he ʻōpio Palestinian a me Arab, hōʻole mākou e kū ma ke ʻano o kēia mau aupuni a me nā hui mea kaua e hana nei i nā ʻoihana koa ma Ottawa e hoʻoulu hou i ka hoʻokaumaha ʻana o ko mākou poʻe i ka home.

I ka makahiki 2021, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Kanada i kahi ʻaelike e kūʻai aku i nā drones mai ka mea hana mea kaua nui loa o ka ʻIseraʻela a me ka mea hōʻikeʻike CANSEC Elbit Systems, e hāʻawi ana i ka 85% o nā drones i hoʻohana ʻia e ka pūʻali koa Israeli e nānā a hoʻouka i nā Palestinians ma West Bank a me Gaza. ʻO kahi hui Elbit Systems, IMI Systems, ka mea hāʻawi nui i nā pōkā 5.56 mm, a ʻo ia ka i manaʻoʻia e lilo no lakou pāleka i hoʻohana ʻia e nā pūʻali koa ʻIseraʻela e pepehi i ka mea kākau moʻolelo Palestinian Shireen Abu Akleh. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o kona kiʻi ʻia ʻana i ka wā e uhi ana i kahi hoʻouka kaua ʻana o ka pūʻali koa ʻIseraʻela ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo West Bank ʻo Jenin, ʻōlelo kona ʻohana a me kona mau hoaaloha ʻaʻole e paʻa ke kuleana o kāna poʻe pepehi kanaka, a ua haʻi aku ke Keʻena Kākoʻo Kākoʻo Koa o ka Israeli Defense Force ʻaʻole ia i manaʻo. e hoʻopaʻi hewa a hoʻopiʻi paha i kekahi o nā koa i pili. Ua ʻōlelo ka United Nations ʻo Abu Akleh kekahi 191 poe Palesetina i make e nā pūʻali koa ʻIseraʻela a me nā poʻe noho Iudaio ma 2022.

ʻO Indonesia kahi ʻāina ʻē aʻe i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e Kanada nona nā pūʻali palekana i hoʻohewa nui ʻia no ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ikaika ʻana i ka kūʻē politika a me ka pepehi ʻana me ka hoʻopaʻi ʻole ʻia ma Papua a me West Papua. I Nowemapa 2022, ma o ka Universal Periodic Review (UPR) kaʻina hana ma United Nations, Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Kanada ʻO Indonesia "e noiʻi i nā ʻōlelo hoʻopiʻi no ka uhai ʻana i nā pono kīwila ma Indonesia Papua, a e hoʻomaka i ka pale ʻana i nā makaʻāinana, me nā wahine a me nā keiki." ʻOiai kēia, ua loaʻa iā Kanada hoʻolilo ʻia $30 miliona ma "waiwai koa" i Indonesia i nā makahiki ʻelima i hala. Ma kahi o ʻekolu mau hui e kūʻai aku ana i nā mea kaua i Indonesia e hōʻike ʻia ma CANSEC me Thales Canada Inc, BAE Systems, a me Rheinmetall Canada Inc.

"Hoʻohana ʻia nā waiwai koa i kūʻai ʻia ma CANSEC i nā kaua, akā e nā pūʻali palekana hoʻi i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā mea pale pono kanaka, nā kūʻē kūʻē kīwila a me nā kuleana ʻōiwi," wahi a Brent Patterson, ka mea hoʻoponopono o Peace Brigades International-Canada. "Ke hopohopo nui nei mākou no ka nele o ka ʻike i ka $ 1 biliona o nā waiwai kaua i lawe ʻia mai Kanada a i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kēlā me kēia makahiki e lawe hou ʻia kekahi o ia mau mea e hoʻohana ʻia e nā pūʻali palekana e hoʻopaʻa i nā hui, nā mea pale a me nā kaiāulu ma Guatemala, Honduras. , Mekiko, Kolombia a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe.

He mea kūʻai koʻikoʻi ka RCMP ma CANSEC, ʻo ia hoʻi me kāna hui pūʻali koa hou i hoʻopaʻapaʻa - ka Community-Industry Response Group (C-IRG). ʻO Airbus, Teledyne FLIR, Colt a me General Dynamics nā mea hōʻikeʻike CANSEC i hoʻolako i ka C-IRG me nā helikopter, drones, rifles a me nā pōkā. Ma hope o nā haneli o nā hoʻopiʻi pākahi a me kekahi nā hoʻopiʻi hui ua waiho ʻia i ke Kōmike Kūkākūkā a me nā Hoʻopiʻi Kūlohelohe (CRCC), ua hoʻomaka ka CRCC i kahi loiloi ʻōnaehana o ka C-IRG. Eia hou, nā nūpepa ma Fairy Creek a ma wet'suwetʻen Ua hoʻopiʻi nā teritore i ka C-IRG, ua lawe mai nā mea pale ʻāina ma Gidimtʻen koi kīvila a imi a noho ana o na hana no ka uhaki Charter, a me nā mea hana ma Fairy Creek kūʻē i kahi kauoha ma ke kumu o ka hana C-IRG e hoʻohaumia ai ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka hoʻoponopono a hoʻokumu ʻia a hana kivila ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka uhaki ʻana i ka palapala palapala. Ma muli o ke koʻikoʻi o nā ʻōlelo hoʻopiʻi e pili ana i ka C-IRG, ke kāhea nei nā Aupuni First a me nā hui kīwila a puni ka ʻāina e hoʻopau koke ʻia.
