Wolemba Rachel Small, World BEYOND War, July 31, 2022

Posachedwa ndidakhala ndi mwayi wolankhula pawebusayiti yofunika kwambiri yomwe ili ndi mutu wakuti "Kodi Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board Ndi Chiyani Kwenikweni?" adagwirizana ndi ogwirizana athu a Just Peace Advocates, Canadian Foreign Policy Institute, Canadian BDS Coalition, MiningWatch Canada, ndi Internacional de Servicios Públicos. Dziwani zambiri za chochitikacho ndikuwona kujambula kwathunthu Pano. Masilaidi ndi zidziwitso zina ndi maulalo omwe adagawidwa pa webinar nawonso alipo pano.

Nawa mawu omwe ndidagawana nawo, ndikufotokozera mwachidule njira zina zomwe Canadian Pension Plan imathandizira kupha ndi kuwononga anthu ndi dziko lapansi - kuphatikiza zotsalira zamafuta, zida za nyukiliya, ndi ziwawa zankhondo - ndikuwunikira chifukwa chake ndi momwe sitiyenera kufunsa chilichonse. ndalama zochepa kuposa thumba lomwe adayikamo ndikumanga tsogolo lomwe tikufuna kukhalamo.

Dzina langa ndine Rachel Small, ndine Canada Organiser ndi World Beyond War, mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi ndi gulu lolimbikitsa kuthetsa nkhondo (ndi kukhazikitsidwa kwa nkhondo) ndikulowa m'malo mwake ndi mtendere wachilungamo komanso wokhazikika. Tili ndi mamembala m'maiko a 192 padziko lonse lapansi omwe akugwira ntchito kuti athetse nthano zankhondo ndikulimbikitsa-ndikuchitapo kanthu kuti apange njira ina yachitetezo padziko lonse lapansi. Chimodzi chozikidwa pachitetezo chochotsa nkhondo, kuthana ndi mikangano mopanda chiwawa, ndikupanga chikhalidwe chamtendere.

Monga okonza, omenyera ufulu, odzipereka, antchito, ndi mamembala athu odabwitsa world beyond war Mitu yomwe tikugwira ntchito yothetsa ziwawa zankhondo ndi zida zankhondo, mogwirizana ndi omwe akhudzidwa kwambiri ndi izi.

Inenso ndimakhala ku Tkaronto, komwe mofanana ndi mizinda yambiri yomwe anthu akulowako, ndi yomwe inamangidwa pamalo omwe anthu akuba. Ndilo dziko lomwe ndi gawo la makolo a Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, ndi anthu a Anishinaabe. Ndi malo omwe akufunika kubwezeredwa.

Toronto ndiyenso likulu lazachuma ku Canada. Kwa okonza anticapitalist kapena omwe akukhudzidwa ndi chisalungamo chamigodi zomwe zikutanthauza kuti mzindawu nthawi zina umadziwika kuti "mimba ya chilombo".

Ndizofunikira kudziwa pamene tikulankhula lero za kuyika chuma cha anthu aku Canada kuti chuma chochuluka cha dziko lino chabedwa kuchokera kwa Amwenye, chimachokera kuwachotsa m'mayiko awo, nthawi zambiri kuti atenge zipangizo zomangira chuma, kaya kudzera m'mawonekedwe omveka, migodi, mafuta ndi gasi, ndi zina zotero. Njira zomwe m'njira zambiri CPP ikupitirizira utsamunda, ku Turtle Island komanso ku Palestine, Brazil, kum'mwera kwapadziko lonse lapansi, ndi kupitirira apo ndizofunika kwambiri pazokambirana zonse zausikuuno.

Monga tanenera poyamba, thumba la penshoni la ku Canada ndi limodzi mwa ndalama zazikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Ndipo ndikufuna kugawana zambiri tsopano za gawo laling'ono la ndalama zake, zomwe zili m'makampani a zida.

Malinga ndi ziwerengero zomwe zangotulutsidwa kumene mu lipoti la pachaka la CPPIB CPP pakadali pano imayika ndalama m'makampani 9 mwa makampani 25 apamwamba kwambiri a zida padziko lonse lapansi (Malinga ndi list iyi). Zowonadi, kuyambira pa Marichi 31 2022, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) ili nayo malonda awa mwa ogulitsa zida zapamwamba 25 padziko lonse lapansi:

Lockheed Martin - mtengo wamsika $76 miliyoni CAD
Boeing - mtengo wamsika $70 miliyoni CAD
Northrop Grumman - mtengo wamsika $38 miliyoni CAD
Airbus - mtengo wamsika $441 miliyoni CAD
L3 Harris - mtengo wamsika $27 miliyoni CAD
Honeywell - mtengo wamsika $106 miliyoni CAD
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries - mtengo wamsika $36 miliyoni CAD
General Electric - mtengo wamsika $70 miliyoni CAD
Thales - mtengo wamsika $ 6 miliyoni CAD

Kunena zowona, iyi ndi CPP yoyika ndalama m'makampani omwe ali opindula kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Mikangano yomweyi padziko lonse lapansi yomwe yabweretsa mavuto kwa anthu mamiliyoni ambiri yabweretsa phindu lalikulu kwa opanga zida zankhondo chaka chino. Anthu mamiliyoni ambiri padziko lonse lapansi omwe akuphedwa, omwe akuvutika, omwe akuthawa kwawo akuchita izi chifukwa cha zida zogulitsidwa ndi mapangano ankhondo opangidwa ndi mabungwewa.

Pomwe othawa kwawo opitilira 400,000 miliyoni adathawa ku Ukraine chaka chino, pomwe anthu wamba oposa XNUMX aphedwa pazaka zisanu ndi ziwiri zankhondo ku Yemen, pomwe osachepera 13 Ana aku Palestina adaphedwa ku West Bank kuyambira chiyambi cha 2022, makampani a zida izi akupeza mabiliyoni ambiri phindu. Ndiwo, mosakayikira anthu okhawo, amene akupambana nkhondozi.

Ndipo apa ndipamene ndalama zambiri zaku Canada zimayikidwa. Izi zikutanthauza kuti, kaya timakonda kapena ayi, tonsefe omwe tili ndi malipiro athu omwe adayikidwa ndi CPP, omwe ndi antchito ambiri ku Canada, tikuika ndalama pakusunga ndi kukulitsa bizinesi yankhondo.

Mwachitsanzo, Lockheed Martin, wopanga zida zapamwamba kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, ndipo adayikidwamo kwambiri ndi CPP, awona masheya awo akukwera pafupifupi 25 peresenti kuyambira chiyambi cha chaka chatsopano. Izi zikugwirizana ndi zina zambiri zankhondo zaku Canada. M'mwezi wa Marichi boma la Canada lidalengeza kuti lasankha Lockheed Martin Corp., wopanga ndege yaku America ya F-35, ngati omwe akufuna kuti achite nawo mgwirizano wa $ 19 biliyoni wandege zatsopano zankhondo 88. Ndegeyi ili ndi cholinga chimodzi chokha ndipo ndicho kupha kapena kuwononga zomangamanga. Ndi, kapena chidzakhala, chida cha nyukiliya chokhoza, ndege ndi mpweya ndi mpweya ndi pansi zokonzekera nkhondo. Chisankho chamtunduwu chogula ma jeti awa pamtengo womata wa $19 biliyoni komanso mtengo wamoyo wa $ Biliyoni 77, zikutanthauza kuti boma lidzakakamizidwa kuti lidzilungamitse kugula ma jet okwera mtengowa powagwiritsanso ntchito. Monga momwe mapaipi omanga amakhazikitsira tsogolo la zotsalira zamafuta ndi zovuta zanyengo, lingaliro logula ndege zankhondo za Lockheed Martin's F35 limakhazikitsa mfundo zakunja zaku Canada kutengera kudzipereka kumenya nkhondo kudzera pa ndege zankhondo kwazaka zambiri zikubwerazi.

Kumbali imodzi mungatsutse kuti iyi ndi nkhani yosiyana, ya zisankho za boma la Canada zogula ndege zankhondo za Lockheed, koma ndikuganiza kuti ndizofunikira kugwirizanitsa izi ndi momwe ndondomeko ya Pension ya Canada ikuyikanso ndalama zambiri za madola mamiliyoni ambiri mofanana. kampani. Ndipo izi ndi ziwiri chabe mwa njira zingapo zomwe Canada ikuthandizira pazabwino za Lockheed chaka chino.

Ndikofunikiranso kuzindikira kuti onse koma awiri mwa makampani a 9 omwe ndidawatchula kale omwe CPP ikugulitsa nawo akhudzidwanso kwambiri pakupanga zida za nyukiliya padziko lonse lapansi. Ndipo izi sizikuphatikiza mabizinesi osalunjika kwa opanga zida za nyukiliya zomwe timayenera kulembera makampani ena ambiri.

Ndilibe nthawi pano lero kuti ndiyankhule kwambiri za zida za nyukiliya, koma ndiyenera kutikumbutsa tonsefe kuti pali zida zopitilira 13,000 zomwe zilipo masiku ano. Ambiri ali pamlingo wapamwamba, wokonzeka kuyambitsidwa mkati mwa mphindi, mwina mwadala kapena chifukwa cha ngozi kapena kusamvetsetsana. Kukhazikitsa kulikonse kotereku kungakhale ndi zotsatira zoopsa pa moyo wapadziko lapansi. Kunena mofatsa, zida za nyukiliya zikuopseza kwambiri moyo wa anthu. Pakhala pali ngozi zokhudzana ndi zida izi ku US, Spain, Russia, British Columbia ndi kwina kwazaka zambiri.

Ndipo tikakhala pamutu wosangalatsa wakuwopseza kupulumuka kwa anthu, ndikufuna kuwunikira mwachidule gawo lina lazachuma la CPP - mafuta oyaka. CPP idayika ndalama zambiri pakuyambitsa zovuta zanyengo. Ndalama zapenshoni zaku Canada zimayika mabiliyoni a madola athu opuma pantchito m'makampani ndi katundu omwe amakulitsa zomangamanga zamafuta, gasi ndi malasha. Nthawi zambiri, ndalama zathu zapenshoni zimakhalanso nazo mapaipi, makampani amafuta ndi gasindipo minda ya gasi kunyanja iwowo.

CPP imakhalanso ndi ndalama zambiri m'makampani amigodi. Zomwe sizimangopitilira utsamunda, komanso zimabweretsa kubedwa kwa nthaka komanso kuipitsidwa, komanso kukumba ndi kukonza zitsulo ndi mchere wina ndizomwe zimayambitsa. peresenti 26 za mpweya wa carbon padziko lonse.

Pamagawo ambiri CPP ikuyika ndalama mu zomwe tikudziwa kuti zipangitsa dziko lapansi kukhala losatheka ku mibadwo yamtsogolo. Ndipo pa nthawi yomweyo iwo kwambiri mwachangu greenwashing ndalama zawo. Bungwe la Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) posachedwapa linalengeza kuti likudzipereka pazochitika zawo ndi ntchito kuti akwaniritse mpweya wowonjezera kutentha kwa mpweya (GHG) m'madera onse pofika chaka cha 2050. Izi ndizochepa kwambiri ndipo zikuwoneka mochuluka kwambiri. monga kuchapa kubiriwira kuposa kudzipereka mwachangu kusunga mafuta oyambira pansi zomwe ndizomwe tikudziwa kuti ndizofunikira.

Ndikufunanso kukhudza lingaliro la ufulu wa CPP. CPP ikugogomezera kuti iwo alidi odziyimira pawokha ndi maboma, kuti m'malo mwake amafotokozera ku Board of Directors, ndipo ndi Bungwe lomwe limavomereza ndondomeko zawo zachuma, limasankha njira (mogwirizana ndi CPP Investments management) ndikuvomereza zisankho zazikulu za momwe ndalama zimagwirira ntchito. imagwira ntchito. Koma gulu ili ndi ndani?

Mwa mamembala 11 omwe ali mu board of director a CPP, osachepera asanu ndi mmodzi adagwirapo ntchito mwachindunji kapena adatumikira m'mabodi amakampani opangira mafuta oyambira ndi omwe amapereka ndalama.

Wapampando wa CPP board ndi Heather Munroe-Blum yemwe adalowa nawo CPP board mchaka cha 2010. Pa nthawi yomwe adakhala kumeneko, adakhalanso pa board ya RBC, yomwe ndi yobwereketsa komanso Investor nambala XNUMX m'gawo lamafuta aku Canada. . Mwinanso kuposa mabungwe ena aliwonse ku Canada omwe si kampani yamafuta, ali ndi chidwi chozama kuwona mafuta amafuta akukula. Mwachitsanzo, ndi amene amapereka ndalama zambiri papaipi ya Coastal Gaslink yomwe imadutsa m'dera la Wet'suwet'en ndi mfuti. RBC ndiwonso wochita Investor wamkulu pamakampani opanga zida za nyukiliya. Kaya pali kusamvana kapena ayi, zomwe Munroe-Blum adakumana nazo pagulu la RBC sizingathandize koma kudziwitsa momwe akuwona kuti CPP iyenera kuyendetsedwa kapena mitundu yandalama zomwe akuyenera kuziwona kukhala zotetezeka.

CPP ikunena patsamba lawo kuti cholinga chawo ndi "kupanga chitetezo chopuma pantchito kwa mibadwo yambiri ya anthu aku Canada" ndipo mzere wachiwiri wa lipoti lawo lapachaka lomwe angotulutsa kumene akuti cholinga chawo chachikulu ndi "kuteteza zokonda za omwe adzapindule ndi CPP kwa mibadwomibadwo." Kwenikweni, ndikuganiza kuti tiyenera kudzifunsa kuti chifukwa chiyani bungwe lomwe lili lovomerezeka kuti anthu ambiri aku Canada athandizirepo, lomwe limakhazikitsidwa mwachiwonekere kuti lithandizire tsogolo lathu ndi la ana athu, likuwoneka ngati lothandizira ndalama komanso kubweretsa chiwonongeko chachikulu chamakono ndi chamtsogolo. Izi, makamaka poganizira kukhudzidwa kwa zida za nyukiliya ndi kusintha kwanyengo ndikupereka ndalama kumapeto kwenikweni kwa dziko. Thandizo la imfa, kuchotsa mafuta oyaka, kusungira madzi, milandu yankhondo…Ndingatsutse kuti izi sizongowononga ndalama zokhazokha, komanso ndi ndalama zowononga ndalama.

Thumba la penshoni lomwe limayang'ana kwambiri za tsogolo la ogwira ntchito mdziko muno silingapange zisankho zomwe CPPIB ikuchita. Ndipo sitiyenera kuvomereza mmene zinthu zilili panopa. Sitiyeneranso kuvomereza ndalama zomwe zingapindulire antchito okhala ku Canada pomwe tikuponya anthu padziko lonse lapansi pansi pa basi. Tiyenera kukana dongosolo la penshoni la anthu lomwe likupitirizabe kugawanso chuma ndi chuma kuchokera ku mayiko oponderezedwa padziko lonse lapansi kupita ku Canada. Amene ndalama zake zimachokera ku magazi omwe anakhetsedwa kuchokera ku Palestine, kupita ku Colombia, kuchokera ku Ukraine kupita ku Tigray kupita ku Yemen. Sitiyenera kufuna chilichonse chocheperapo kuposa thumba loyikapo mtsogolo lomwe tikufuna kukhalamo. Ine sindikuganiza kuti chimenecho ndi lingaliro lopambanitsa.

Ndikuyimirira pamenepo, koma ndikufunanso kunena zoona kuti iyi ndi nkhondo yovuta kwambiri yomwe ili patsogolo pathu. World BEYOND War imapanga kampeni yochotsa ndalama zambiri ndipo imapambana zingapo chaka chilichonse, kaya kubweza ndalama zamatawuni, antchito kapena mapulani apenshoni, koma CPP ndi yovuta chifukwa idapangidwa dala kuti ikhale yovuta kwambiri kusintha. Ambiri angakuuzeni zosatheka kusintha, koma sindikuganiza kuti ndizowona. Ambiri angakuuzeninso kuti ali otetezedwa kotheratu ku chikoka cha ndale, kuti asakhudzidwe ndi kukakamizidwa ndi anthu, koma tikudziwa kuti sizowona. Ndipo otsogolera m'mbuyomu adachita ntchito yabwino yowonetsa momwe amasamalirira mbiri yawo pamaso pa anthu aku Canada. Izi zimatipatsa mwayi wocheperako ndipo zikutanthauza kuti titha kuwakakamiza kuti asinthe. Ndipo ine ndikuganiza usikuuno ndi sitepe yofunika kuti izo. Tiyenera kuyamba ndikumvetsetsa zomwe akuchita panjira yomanga mayendedwe otakata kuti asinthe.

Pali njira zambiri za momwe tingabweretsere kusinthaku koma imodzi yomwe ndikufuna kutsindika ndikuti zaka ziwiri zilizonse amachita misonkhano yapoyera m'dziko lonselo - nthawi zambiri umodzi pafupifupi m'chigawo chilichonse kapena chigawo chilichonse. Kugwa uku ndipamene izi zidzachitikanso ndipo ndikuganiza kuti izi zikupereka mphindi yofunikira pomwe titha kulinganiza modutsana ndikuwawonetsa kuti tilibe chidaliro pazosankha zomwe akupanga - kuti mbiri yawo ili pachiwopsezo chachikulu. Ndipo komwe sitiyenera kufuna chilichonse chocheperapo kuposa thumba lomwe lidayikidwamo ndikumanga tsogolo lomwe tikufuna kukhalamo.
