Na Bianca Mugyenyi, ʻO Rabble,ʻApelila 8, 2021
I kēia hopena pule 100 e komo i ka ʻAʻohe Hui Hui mokulele mokulele hēkīʻO ka wikiwiki a me ka vigil e kūʻē i kā Kanada kūʻai hoʻolālā ʻia ʻana he 88 mau mokulele kaua hou. ʻO ka ʻO ka wikiwiki e hoʻokū i nā jet e hoʻohanohano pū kekahi i ka poʻe i pepehi ʻia e nā mokulele kaua ʻo Kanada.
I nā mahina e hiki mai ana, manaʻo ʻia ke aupuni pekelala e hoʻokuʻu i kahi loiloi mua o nā noi no nā mokulele kaua hou. ʻO Saab's Gripen, ʻo Boeing's Super Hornet a ʻo Lockheed Martin's F-35.
Ua hoʻopau ka nīnau jet jet i ka nui o ka ikehu i ke aupuni pekelala. I ka hōʻike i ka House of Commons Standing Committee on Defense ma ka Poalua, ke kākau ʻōlelo mua o ka Privy Council Michael Wernick 'ōleloʻia ʻo ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mokulele hakakā hou i waena o nā pilikia i "lilo ai mākou i mea e nalo ai ka nānā" ʻana i nā ʻōlelo no ka hana kolohe ʻole e ke aliʻi nui o nā limahana pale ʻo Jonathan Vance.
Ua ʻōlelo ke aupuni pekelala e hoʻolālā e hoʻolilo kālā ma kahi o $ 19 biliona ma nā mokulele hou. Akā ʻo ia wale nō ke kumukūʻai pipili. Kaukaʻi ʻia i ka mokulele i wae ʻia, ʻo ke kumu kūʻai maoli he ʻehā mau manawa o ia nui. Wahi a kahi hōʻike hou i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ka No Fighter Jets Coalition, ke kumukūʻai ola ola - mai ka loaʻa ʻana a mālama ʻia a hoʻolilo i nā mokulele - ua manaʻo ʻia ma $ 77 ieeeea?.
E hoʻopukapuka maikaʻi ʻia kēlā mau kumuwaiwai i kahi hana hou a me nā hana Green Green Deal. Hiki i nā kālā i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i nā mokulele kaua ke hoʻoponopono i ka pilikia o ka wai o Nā Aupuni Mua a hōʻoia i ka wai inu olakino ma kēlā me kēia mālama. A lawa ke kālā e kūkulu i nā kaukani mau ʻāpana o ka nohona kaiapili a i ʻole nā laina kaʻaahi māmā i nā kūlanakauhale like ʻole.
Akā ʻaʻole ia he kumu o ka ʻōpala kālā. Ke wikiwiki nei ʻo Kanada e hoʻokuʻu ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kumuea ʻōmaʻomaʻo (GHGs) ma mua o ka ʻaelike ma ka ʻaelike ma Palisa 2015. Eia nō naʻe ʻike mākou i ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā jets hakakā i ka nui o ka wahie. Mahope iho o ka ʻeono mahina ka lōʻihi o ka pōmaikaʻi ʻana o Libya ma 2011, ka Royal Canadian Air Force hoike ua hoʻopau ʻia kāna mau jet he 8.5 miliona lita o ka wahie. ʻO ka mea hou aku, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hopena o ka hoʻomehana ʻana o ke kalapona ma nā wahi kiʻekiʻena, me nā "output" lele ʻē aʻe e like me nitrous oxide, mahu wai a me nā soot, kahi e hoʻonui ai i nā hopena o ke aniau.
Me ka paʻa o ke kalapona kalapona i ka lewa e hala ana 420 mau ʻāpana no ka miliona no ka manawa mua ma ka hopena pule, he manawa lapuwale kēia ke kūʻai nei i nā mokulele war-ʻeleu.
ʻO ka ʻOihana o National Defense ka mamao loa o ka ʻo ka emitter nui loa o GHGs i ke aupuni pekelala. Kupaianaha nō naʻe, hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka pūʻali koa mai nā pahuhopu hōʻemi lahui.
Ma waho o ka hōʻoia ʻana ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokō i kā mākou pahuhopu, ʻaʻole koi ʻia nā jets fighter e pale aku i nā poʻe Kanada. He mea ʻole nui lākou i ka hana ʻana me ka pandemia ākea a i ʻole ka hoʻouka kaua 9/11, e pane ana i nā pōpilikia kūlohelohe, e hāʻawi ana i nā kōkua kaiāulu āpau a i ʻole nā hana maluhia He mau mea kaua hōʻeha kēia i hoʻolālā ʻia e hoʻonui i ka hiki i ka ikaika o ka ea e hui pū me nā US a me NATO.
Nā hoʻolaha o ka make a me ka luku
I loko o nā mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻokau nui nā mokulele mokulele Kanada i nā pōkā a US i alakaʻi ʻia i Iraq (1991), Serbia (1999), Libya (2011) a me Syria a me Iraq (2014-2016).
ʻO ka pōpilikia he 78 mau lā o ka Yugoslavia ma mua uhaʻi i ke kānāwai kūwaho ʻaʻole ʻo ka United Nations Security Council a me ke aupuni Serbi aponoia. Hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia ka mea like no nā pōkā hou loa i Suria. I ka 2011, ka Council Security apono i kahi lele-lele e pale aku i nā kamaʻāina Libyan, akā ʻo ka pōmaikaʻi ʻana o ka NATO i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka ʻae ʻana o UN.
Ua pāʻani pū kekahi ʻano like me ʻIraka i nā 90 mau mua. I loko o kēlā kaua, ua hana nā jets koa Kanada i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "Bubiyan Turkey Shoot" kēlā luku iā ʻIraka haneli a me nā moku kaua moana, a me nā pōpoki hui pū ʻia i luku i ka hapa nui o nā hana kūloko o ʻIraka. Ua wāwahi nui ʻia ka hana uila o ka ʻāina e like me nā dam nui, nā mea kanu hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai, nā pono kelepona, nā pono awa a me nā hana hoʻopiha aila. Iwakalua tausani pūʻali koa Iraqi a me nā kaukani lehulehu o nā lehulehu ua pepehi ʻia.
I Serbia, ua make he mau haneli i ka wā o ka bombing a NATO ma 1999 a ua heʻe he mau haneli mau tausani. Nā pōkā o NATO "E luku i nā wahi ʻoihana a me nā hana i hana i nā mea weliweli e hoʻohaumia i ka lewa, ka wai a me ka lepo." ʻO ka luku maoli ʻia o nā mea kanu kemika i kumu poino kūlohelohe nui.
Ma Libia, ua hōʻinoʻino nā jet jet NATO i ka ʻōnaehana aquifer ʻo Great Manmade. Ke hoʻouka nei i ke kumu o 70 pākēneka o ka heluna kanaka o ka wai ka hana kaua. Mai ke kaua 2011, miliona mau Libyans i kū i kahi maʻi pilikia o ka wai. I loko o ʻeono mau mahina o ke kaua, ua hāʻule ke kuikahi 20,000 nā pōā ma kahi o 6,000 mau māka, e like me ʻoi aku ma mua o 400 mau hale aupuni a i ʻole nā kikowaena kauoha. Ua pepehi ʻia he mau kakini, he mau haneli paha, o nā lāhui kīwila i nā kuʻi.
ʻOkakopa Koho poloka Nanos ua hōʻike ʻia he hoʻohana ʻole ʻia ka pūʻali koa poma. Ke nīnau ʻia nā mea pane "pehea ke kākoʻo, inā paha, ʻo ʻoe kekahi o nā ʻano o nā mikionali o nā pūʻali koa Kanada," ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā koho ʻewalu i hāʻawi ʻia.
Kanahikukūmāhiku pākēneka i kākoʻo ʻia "e komo ana i nā kōkua kūlohelohe i nā ʻāina ʻē" a me 74 pākēneka i kākoʻo i "nā mikiona mālama maluhia o Nā Aupuni Hui Pū ʻIa," ʻoiai ʻo 28 wale nō ka hapa haneri o kēlā mau mea i koho ʻia i kākoʻo "e pili ana i ka hui ʻana o ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā airstrike." Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pūʻali koa e kākoʻo i ka NATO a me nā mikioni ally alakaʻi ʻia he mea haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ia no ka poʻe i koho ʻia.
I ka pane i ka nīnau, "I kou manaʻo, he aha ke kuleana kūpono loa no ka Pūʻali Koa o Kanada?" Ua ʻōlelo ʻo 6.9 pakeneka o nā poʻe i koho ʻia, "kākoʻo i nā mikionali / hui kaua NATO" ʻoiai ua koho ʻia he 39.8 pakeneka i ka "peacekeeping" a me 34.5 pakeneka i koho ʻia "pale iā Kanada." Eia naʻe, ʻo ka hoʻolilo ʻana i $ 77 biliona no nā mokulele kaua ʻoki wale nō i kūpono i ka pōʻaiapili o nā hoʻolālā e hakakā i nā kaua o US a me NATO e hiki mai ana.
Inā koʻikoʻi maoli ke aupuni Kanada no ka pale ʻana i ke ola ma ka Honua, ʻaʻole pono ke kūʻai ʻana iā 88 pono ʻole, luku ʻia i ke aniau, a me nā mokulele hakakā hou weliweli.
