Bajeti yaposachedwa ya feduro yatuluka ndipo ngakhale atolankhani akusokonekera za mfundo zatsopano zoyendetsera nyumba-zomwe zimakhala ndi akaunti yatsopano yosalipira msonkho kwa ogula nyumba, "thumba lachiwongolero" la ma municipalities kuti alimbikitse kupititsa patsogolo, komanso chithandizo chochepa cha nyumba zachikhalidwe. -zikuyenera kumveka ngati kukhazikika kwa Canada monga capitalist, atsamunda, ndi mphamvu za imperialist.
Palibe chitsanzo chabwino cha izi kuposa dongosolo la boma la Trudeau lokulitsa kwambiri ndalama zankhondo ndi pafupifupi $ 8 biliyoni, pamwamba pa mabiliyoni pakuwonjezeka komwe kwakonzedwa kale.
Mu 2017, boma la Liberal linayambitsa ndondomeko ya chitetezo champhamvu, yotetezeka, yogwira ntchito, yomwe inalonjeza kuti idzawonjezera ndalama zankhondo zapachaka kuchokera pa $ 18.9 biliyoni mu 2016 / 17 mpaka $ 32.7 biliyoni mu 2026 / 27, kuwonjezeka kwa 70 peresenti. M’zaka 20 zotsatira, zimenezo zinaimira chiwonjezeko cha ndalama zatsopano zokwana madola 62.3 biliyoni, zomwe zinachititsa kuti ndalama zonse zowonongedwa pankhondo panthaŵiyo zikhale zoposa $550 biliyoni—kapena kupitirira theka la madola thililiyoni m’zaka makumi aŵiri.
Koma malinga ndi bajeti yatsopano ya Canada, "dongosolo lokhazikitsidwa ndi malamulo padziko lonse lapansi" tsopano "likuyang'anizana ndi chiwopsezo chomwe chilipo" chifukwa chakuukira kwa Russia ku Ukraine. Zotsatira zake, a Liberals akudzipereka kugwiritsa ntchito $ 8 biliyoni pazaka zisanu zikubwerazi, zomwe zikaphatikizidwa ndi malonjezo ena aposachedwa zidzabweretsa ndalama zonse za Department of National Defense (DND) kupitilira $40 biliyoni pachaka pofika 2026/27. Izi zikutanthauza kuti ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pankhondo pachaka zikhala zikuchulukirachulukira pofika kumapeto kwa 2020s.
Mwachindunji, bajeti yatsopanoyi imayika $ 6.1 biliyoni pazaka zisanu kuti "tilimbikitse [e] zofunika zathu zachitetezo" monga gawo la kuwunika kwa mfundo zachitetezo, pafupifupi $900 miliyoni za Communications Security Establishment (CSE) "kupititsa [e] chitetezo cha pa intaneti ku Canada, ” ndi ndalama zina zokwana madola 500 miliyoni zothandizira asilikali ku Ukraine.
Kwa zaka zambiri, dziko la Canada lakhala likukakamizidwa kuti liwonjezere ndalama zake zankhondo pachaka kufika pawiri peresenti ya GDP yake, yomwe ndi chiwerengero chokhazikika chomwe NATO ikuyembekeza kuti mamembala ake akumane nawo. Dongosolo Lamphamvu, Lotetezeka, Logwirizana la 2017 lidakambidwa momveka bwino ndi a Liberals ngati njira yowonjezerera zopereka ku Canada, koma mu 2019, Purezidenti wa US, a Donald Trump, adalongosola Canada ngati "yosamvera pang'ono" chifukwa chongogunda pafupifupi 1.3 peresenti ya GDP.
Komabe, monga momwe mtolankhani wa Ottawa Citizen David Pugliese ananenera, chiwerengerochi ndi chandamale—osati pangano la mgwirizano—koma “m’zaka zapitazi ‘cholinga’chi chasinthidwa ndi otsatira a DND kukhala lamulo lolimba ndiponso lofulumira.” Malinga ndi lipoti laposachedwa la a Parliamentary Budget Officer, dziko la Canada liyenera kuwononga pakati pa $20 biliyoni mpaka $25 biliyoni pachaka kuti likwaniritse ziwerengero ziwirizo.
Kufalitsa nkhani m'masabata otsala pang'ono kutulutsidwa kwa bajeti ya feduro kunawonetsa kusinthasintha kosalekeza kwa akazembe odziwika kwambiri aku Canada - Rob Huebert, Pierre Leblanc, James Fergusson, David Perry, Whitney Lackenbauer, Andrea Charron - akufuna kuti asitikali achuluke. kuwononga ndalama, makamaka chitetezo cha Arctic poyembekezera kuwopseza kuukira kuchokera ku Russia kapena China (bajeti ya 2021 idapereka kale $250 miliyoni pazaka zisanu ku "NORAD yamakono," kuphatikizapo kusunga "Arctic Defense capabilities"). Kufalitsa nkhani zachitetezo ku Arctic sikunaphatikizepo malingaliro aliwonse ochokera ku mabungwe odana ndi nkhondo kapena anthu aku Northern Indigenous ngakhale Inuit Circumpolar Council ikufuna kwanthawi yayitali kuti Arctic "ikhalebe yamtendere."
M'malo mwake, ngakhale ndalama zatsopano za $ 8 biliyoni zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito - pamwamba pa kulimbikitsa kwakukulu kudzera pa Njira Yamphamvu, Yotetezedwa, Yogwirizana komanso kuwonjezereka kotsatira - zoulutsira nkhani zikuzipanga kale ngati zolephera chifukwa "Canada ikhalabe yochepa kwambiri pazomwe NATO imagwiritsa ntchito. .” Malinga ndi CBC, kudzipereka kwatsopano ku Canada kudzangowonjezera chiwerengerocho kuchoka pa 1.39 mpaka 1.5 peresenti, zomwe zikufanana ndi zomwe Germany kapena Portugal imawononga. Pogwira mawu a David Perry, pulezidenti wa Canadian Global Affairs Institute, gulu loganiza bwino lomwe “limalipiridwa kwambiri ndi opanga zida zankhondo,” Globe and Mail mopanda nzeru inalongosola chiwonjezeko cha ndalama zokwana madola 8 biliyoni kukhala “chochepa.”
Zonsezi zidachitika patangotha sabata imodzi kuchokera pamene dziko la Canada lidalengeza kuti likubwerera m'mbuyo ndikumaliza mgwirizano ndi Lockheed Martin kuti agule ndege zankhondo 88 F-35 pamtengo wa $19 biliyoni. Monga mkulu wa bungwe la Canadian Foreign Policy Institute Bianca Mugyenyi anatsutsa, F-35 ndi ndege "yopanda mafuta kwambiri", ndipo idzagula mtengo wogula kawiri kapena katatu pa moyo wake wonse. Amaliza kuti kupeza omenyera zida zapamwambazi kumangomveka ndi "ndondomeko yoti Canada imenye nkhondo zamtsogolo za US ndi NATO."
Zowona zake ndizakuti, monga apolisi, palibe ndalama zomwe zidzakhale zokwanira kwa akazembe ankhondo, akasinja opangira zida zankhondo, kapena ma DND shill omwe amapatsidwa malo muzowulutsa wamba.
Monga Brendan Campisi adalembera Spring, kuyambira chiyambi cha kuukira kwa Russia, gulu lolamulira la Canada lakhala likugogomezera kuti "dziko lapansi tsopano ndi malo owopsa kwambiri, ndipo kuti athane ndi zoopsazi, asilikali a ku Canada akufunikira ndalama zambiri, zowonjezereka komanso zowonjezereka. zida zabwino, olembedwa usilikali ambiri, ndi kupezeka kwakukulu kumpoto. " Chifukwa chakuchulukirachulukira kwa Canada pakuchita ziwawa zapadziko lonse lapansi, ziwopsezo zitha kuzindikirika kulikonse, kutanthauza kuti $40 biliyoni pakugwiritsa ntchito pankhondo pachaka pofika 2026/27 zikhala zotsika kwambiri.
Kukula kwa Canada pakupanga, kutumiza kunja, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito mafuta oyaka (omwe tsopano ndi ovomerezeka ndi thandizo la kaboni) kudzangowonjezera dziko lapansi pachiwopsezo chifukwa cha kugwa kwanyengo, makamaka ku Global South, zomwe zimabweretsa kusamuka komwe sikunachitikepo chifukwa cha nyengo; Kupatulapo posachedwa azungu othawa kwawo ochokera ku Ukraine, njira yodana ndi anthu osamukira kumayiko ena ipitiliza kulimbikitsa anthu atsankho makamaka odana ndi anthu akuda. Kuchulukirachulukira kwa ndalama zankhondo kumeneku mosakayikira kudzathandizira kuti ndalama zambiri zankhondo zitheke m'maiko ena, komanso.
Pomwe kuvota motsutsana ndi lingaliro la Conservative kuti lipititse patsogolo ndalama zankhondo kufika pawiri peresenti ya GDP monga idafunsidwa ndi NATO, NDP yalonjeza kuthandizira ku Liberal bajeti mpaka pakati pa 2025 kudzera mu mgwirizano wake waposachedwa komanso chidaliro. Izi zikutanthauza kuti mosasamala kanthu za kuimitsidwa, a New Democrats ali okonzeka kugulitsa njira zamano zoyesedwa ndi njira zapakatikati komanso kuthekera kwamtsogolo kwa pulogalamu yapadziko lonse yamankhwala - mosasamala akukhulupirira kuti sidzaphedwa ndi a Liberals - chifukwa chazinthu zambiri zaku Canada. asilikali. Chakumapeto kwa Marichi, wodzudzula a NDP pazanja zakunja adafotokoza kuti asitikali "achepa" ndipo adati "sitinapereke zida zomwe asitikali athu, amuna ndi akazi athu ovala yunifolomu, amayenera kugwira ntchito zomwe tikuwapempha kuti achite. bwinobwino.”
Sitingathe kukhulupirira NDP kuti itsogolere kapenanso kuthandizira zoyesayesa zenizeni zolimbana ndi nkhondo. Monga nthawi zonse, kukana uku kuyenera kukonzedwa mwaokha, monga momwe zakhalira kale ndi zokonda za Labor Against the Arms Trade, World Beyond War Canada, Peace Brigades International - Canada, Canadian Foreign Policy Institute, Canadian Peace Congress, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, ndi No Fighter Jets Coalition. Kuphatikiza apo, tiyenera kupitiliza kugwira ntchito mogwirizana ndi anthu amtundu wamtunduwu kukana kukhazikika kwa atsamunda, kulanda, kusatukuka, ndi chiwawa.
Chofunikiracho chiyenera kupitiriza kukhala mapeto a capitalism, colonialism, ndi imperialism. Zinthu zodabwitsa zomwe zidagwiritsidwa ntchito polimbikitsa utsogoleri wapadziko lonse lapansi - kudzera m'nkhondo, apolisi, ndende, ndi malire - ziyenera kulandidwa ndikutumizidwanso kuti zichepetse mpweya ndikukonzekera kusintha kwanyengo, nyumba za anthu ndi chisamaliro chaumoyo, chitetezo cha chakudya, kuchepetsa ziwopsezo ndikupereka chitetezo. , ndalama zothandizira anthu olumala (kuphatikiza COVID yayitali), zoyendera anthu onse, kubwezeredwa ndi kubweza minda kwa Amwenye, ndi zina zotero; chochititsa chidwi, kusintha kwakukuluku kumachitika osati ku Canada kokha komanso padziko lonse lapansi. Kudzipereka kwaposachedwa kwa $ 8 biliyoni kunkhondo kumatsutsana kwambiri ndi zolinga izi zolimbikitsa chitetezo chenicheni ndi chilungamo, ndipo ziyenera kutsutsidwa mwamphamvu.
