NaRachel Mudiki, World BEYOND War, July 31, 2022

Nguva pfupi yadarika ndakava nerukudzo rwekutaura pane yakakosha webinar ine musoro unoti "Chii chinonzi Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board Chaizvo Kusvika?" yakarongeka pamwe chete nevabatsiri vedu Just Peace Advocates, Canadian Foreign Policy Institute, Canadian BDS Coalition, MiningWatch Canada, uye Internacional de Servicios Públicos. Dzidza zvakawanda nezve chiitiko uye tarisa kurekodha kwacho kuzere pano. Masiraidhi uye rumwe ruzivo uye zvinongedzo zvakagovaniswa panguva yewebhu webinar zvakare iripo pano.

Heano mashoko andakagovera, muchidimbu dzimwe nzira idzo Canadian Pension Plan iri kupa mari yerufu nekuparadzwa kwevanhu nepasi - kusanganisira kubviswa kwemafuta emafuta, zvombo zvenyukireya, uye mhosva dzehondo - uye kuratidza kuti nei uye sei isu tisingade chero chinhu. isingasviki homwe yakaiswa mari uye ichivaka remangwana ratinoda kugara mariri.

Ini ndinonzi Rachel Mudiki, ini ndiri Canada Murongi naye World Beyond War, network yepasi rose yepasi rose uye kufamba kunotsigira kubviswa kwehondo (uye hurongwa hwehondo) nekutsiviwa kwayo nerunyararo rwakanaka uye rwakasimba. Tine nhengo munyika dze192 pasi rese dziri kushanda kuburitsa ngano dzehondo uye kutsigira-uye kutora matanho akasimba ekuvaka-imwe nzira yekuchengetedza pasi rose. Imwe yakavakirwa pakudzikisira kuchengeteka, kugadzirisa kusawirirana pasina mhirizhonga, uye kugadzira tsika yerunyararo.

Sevarongi, varatidziri, vanozvipira, vashandi, uye nhengo dzezvinoshamisa zvedu world beyond war Zvitsauko zvatiri kushanda kuti tipedze mhirizhonga yemauto nehondo, takabatana nevakanyanya kukanganiswa nazvo.

Ini pachangu ndinogara muTkaronto, iyo semaguta mazhinji ari kujoinwa nevanhu pano, yakavakirwa panzvimbo yakabiwa yeIndigenous. Ndiyo nyika inova dunhu remadzitateguru eHuron-Wendat, maHaudenosaunee, uye maAnishinaabe. Ivhu rinoda kudzorerwa.

Toronto ndiyo zvakare chigaro chemari yeCanada. Kune vanoronga anticapitalist kana avo vanobatanidzwa mukusaruramisira kwemigodhi zvinoreva kuti guta iri dzimwe nguva rinozivikanwa se "dumbu rechikara".

Zvakakosha kucherechedza sezvatinotaura nhasi nezvekudyara hupfumi hwevaCanada zvekuti hupfumi hwenyika ino hwakabiwa kubva kune veIndigenous, hunobva pakuvabvisa kubva kuminda yavo, kazhinji kuzotora zvinhu zvekuvaka hupfumi, kungave kuburikidza nekujekesa. migodhi, oiri negasi, nezvimwewo. Nzira idzo munzira dzakawanda CPP inoenderera mberi nekoloni, mose muTurtle Island pamwe nemuPalestine, Brazil, kumaodzanyemba kwepasi rose, nekumhiri inzira yakakosha kunhaurirano yose yemanheru ano.

Sezvakarongwa pakutanga, homwe yepenjeni yeCanada ndeimwe yehomwe huru pasi rose. Uye ini ndinoda kugovera rumwe ruzivo izvozvi nezve diki-chikamu nharaunda yekudyara kwayo, iri muindasitiri yezvombo.

Sezviverengero zvakangoburitswa muCPPIB's gore negore CPP parizvino inodyara mu9 ePamusoro 25 makambani emaoko (maererano ne list iyi). Chokwadi, kubva munaKurume 31 2022, iyo Canada Pension Plan (CPP) ine aya masimba mupamusoro 25 vatengesi vezvombo pasi rose:

Lockheed Martin - mutengo wemusika $76 miriyoni CAD
Boeing - mutengo wemusika $70 miriyoni CAD
Northrop Grumman - kukosha kwemusika $38 miriyoni CAD
Airbus - mutengo wemusika $441 miriyoni CAD
L3 Harris - kukosha kwemusika $ 27 mamiriyoni CAD
Honeywell - kukosha kwemusika $ 106 mamiriyoni CAD
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries - kukosha kwemusika $36 miriyoni CAD
General Electric - kukosha kwemusika $70 miriyoni CAD
Thales - mutengo wemusika $6 miriyoni CAD

Kuzvitaura pachena, iyi ndiyo CPP inodyara mari mumakambani ari chaizvo anoita purofiti pasirese. Makakatanwa mamwe chete pasi rose ayo akaunza nhamo kumamiriyoni akaunza purofiti kune ava vagadziri vezvombo gore rino. Mamiriyoni evanhu pasi rose ari kuurayiwa, vari kutambura, vari kutamiswa vari kuita izvi nekuda kwezvombo zvinotengeswa nezvibvumirano zvemauto nemasangano aya.

Nepo vapoteri vanopfuura mamirioni matanhatu vakatiza Ukraine gore rino, nepo vanopfuura 400,000 vagari vakaurayiwa mumakore manomwe ehondo muYemen, nepo zvishoma. 13 Vana vePalestine vakaurayiwa muWest Bank kubva kutanga kwa2022, makambani ezvombo aya ari kutora mabhiriyoni emadhora mupurofiti. Ndivo, pasina mubvunzo vanhu voga, vari kukunda hondo idzi.

Uye apa ndipo parikuiswa mari yakawanda yeCanada. Izvi zvinoreva kuti, kunyangwe tichizvida kana kusazvida, isu tese tine mimwe mibairo yedu yakasimwa neCPP, inova ndiyo yakawanda yevashandi muCanada, tiri kuisa mari mukuchengetedza uye kuwedzera indasitiri yehondo.

Lockheed Martin, semuenzaniso, mugadziri wezvombo zvepamusoro pasi rose, uye akadyarwa zvakanyanya neCPP, akaona masheya avo achikwira angangoita makumi maviri neshanu muzana kubva kutanga kwegore idzva. Izvi zvinobatana nemamwe akawanda maficha eCanada mauto. Muna Kurume hurumende yeCanada yakazivisa kuti yakanga yasarudza Lockheed Martin Corp., mugadziri wekuAmerica weF-25 f-35 fighter jet, semutengi wayo wekondirakiti yemabhiriyoni gumi nemapfumbamwe emadhora makumi masere nemasere ejeti dzehondo. Ndege iyi ine chinangwa chimwe chete uye kuuraya kana kuparadza zvivakwa. Icho, kana chichava, chombo chenyukireya chinokwanisa, mhepo-kune-mhepo uye mhepo-kusvika-pasi kurwisa ndege yakagadziridzwa kurwa hondo. Iyi sarudzo yekutenga majeti aya nemutengo wekunamirwa wemadhora mabhiriyoni gumi nemapfumbamwe uye mutengo wehupenyu hwe $ 77 bhiriyoni, zvinoreva kuti hurumende ichanzwa kumanikidzwa kuti ipembedze kutenga kwayo jet idzi dzinodhura zvakanyanya nekuzodzishandisa. Sezvinongoita mapaipi ekuvaka anodzika ramangwana rekuchera mafuta uye dambudziko remamiriro ekunze, danho rekutenga ndege dzehondo dzeLockheed Martin's F35 inodzika mutemo wekunze weCanada zvichienderana nekuzvipira kuhondo kuburikidza nendege dzehondo kwemakumi emakore ari kuuya.

Kune rumwe rutivi unogona kupokana iyi inyaya yakaparadzana, yehurumende yeCanada sarudzo dzemauto kutenga Lockheed's fighter jets, asi ndinofunga zvakakosha kubatanidza izvozvo nenzira iyo Canadian Pension Plan iri kuisawo mamiriyoni akawanda emadhora mune imwecheteyo. kambani. Uye idzi ingori mbiri dzenzira dzinoverengeka idzo Canada iri kupa kune Lockheed's rekodhi-kutyora purofiti gore rino.

Izvo zvakakoshawo kuziva kuti ese kunze kweaviri emakambani e9 andambotaura kuti CPP iri kuisa mari mukati akabatanidzwa zvakanyanya mukugadzirwa kwezvombo zvenyukireya pasi rose. Uye izvi hazvisanganisire kudyara zvisina kunanga muvagadziri vezvombo zvenyukireya izvo zvatinofanira kunyora mamwe makambani mazhinji.

Ini handina nguva pano nhasi yekutaura zvakawandisa nezvezvombo zvenyukireya, asi zvakakosha kutiyeuchidza isu tese kuti kune anopfuura zviuru gumi nezvitatu zvehondo dzenyukireya zviripo nhasi. Vakawanda vari panzvimbo yakakwirira-yakangwarira, yakagadzirira kutangwa mukati memaminitsi, zvingava nemaune kana semugumisiro wetsaona kana kusanzwisisa. Chero kuvhurwa kwakadai kungave nemhedzisiro ine njodzi kune hupenyu hwePasi. Kutaura nenzira yakapfava, zvombo zvenyukireya zvinopa tyisidziro yakakomba uye yapakarepo kukupukunyuka chaikoiko kwomunhu. Pakave netsaona dzinosanganisira zvombo izvi muUS, Spain, Russia, British Columbia nekumwe kwemakumi emakore.

Uye kana tave panyaya yekuda kwekutyisidzira kurarama kwevanhu, ini ndinoda kuratidza muchidimbu imwe nzvimbo yekudyara kweCPP - fossil fuels. CPP yakadyarwa zvakanyanya mukuita dambudziko remamiriro ekunze. Mari yepenjeni yeCanada inodyara mabhiriyoni emadhora edu ekurega basa mumakambani nemidziyo inowedzera oiri, gasi uye marasha. Muzviitiko zvakawanda, mari yedu yepenjeni inotova yavo mapaipi, makambani emafuta uye gasi, uye offshore gasi minda ivo pachavo.

CPP inodyara mari mumakambani emigodhi. Izvo zvisiri kungoenderera mberi nekoloni, uye vane mhosva yekuba ivhu uye kusvibiswa asiwo kubviswa uye kwekutanga kugadzirisa simbi nezvimwe zvicherwa ndiko kunokonzera. 26 muzana yepasi rose carbon emissions.

Pamatanho mazhinji CPP iri kuisa mari mune izvo zvatinoziva zvichaita kuti pasi rive risisararame kuzvizvarwa zvinotevera. Uye panguva imwechete ivo vari kunyanya kushingaira greenwashing mari yavo. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) nguva pfupi yadarika yakazivisa kuti vari kuita chisungo chepodfolio yavo uye mashandiro avo kuti vawane kuburitswa kwenet-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) munzvimbo dzese panosvika 2050. Izvi zvanyanya kunonoka uye zvinotaridzika zvakanyanya. kufanana negreenwashing pane kushingaira kuzvipira kuchengetedza mafuta efosi muvhu zvinova izvo zvatinoziva kuti zvinonyatsodiwa.

Ndinodawo kubata pfungwa ye CPP rusununguko. CPP inosimbisa kuti zvechokwadi vakazvimiririra kubva kuhurumende, kuti ivo vanozivisa kuBhodi reVatungamiriri, uye ndiro Bhodhi rinotendera marongero avo ekudyara, rinotarisa gwara rehungwaru (mukubatana neCPP Investments manejimendi) uye inobvumidza sarudzo dzakakosha nezve maitirwo ehomwe. inoshanda. Asi bhodhi iri ndiani?

Panhengo gumi neimwe dziripo pabhodhi revatungamiriri veCPP, vangangosvika vatanhatu vakashanda zvakananga kana kushanda mumabhodhi emakambani emafuta efosili nevanovapa mari.

Sachigaro webhodhi reCPP ndiHeather Munroe-Blum akabatana neCPP board muna 2010. Panguva yaaive ari ikoko, akambogarawo mubhodhi reRBC, inova mukweretesi wekutanga uye ari wekutanga kuisa mari muchikamu chekuCanada chefossil fuel. . Zvichida kudarika chero imwe sangano muCanada isiri iyo kambani yemafuta, ine chido chakadzama chekuona kugadzirwa kwemafuta emafuta kuchikura. Inga semuenzaniso mubatsiri mukuru wepombi yeCoastal Gaslink achisaidzira nemunzvimbo yeWet'suwet'en nepfuti. RBC zvakare inodyara mari muindasitiri yezvombo zvenyukireya. Kunyangwe paine kusawirirana kwezvido kana kuti kwete, chiitiko chaMunroe-Blum pabhodhi reRBC hachigone kubatsira asi kuzivisa maonero aanoita kuti CPP inofanira kuitwa kana mhando dzekudyara dzavanofanira kuona dzakachengeteka.

CPP inotaura pawebhusaiti yavo kuti chinangwa chavo ndecheku "gadzira chengetedzo yemudyandigere kuzvizvarwa zvevanhu vekuCanada" uye mutsara wechipiri weshumo yavo yegore yavachangobva kuburitsa inoti chinangwa chavo chakajeka ndeche "kuchengetedza zvakanakira vanobatsirwa neCPP kwezvizvarwa." Chakanyanya ndinofunga isu tinofanirwa kuzvibvunza kuti sei sangano rinosungirwa kuti vazhinji vevashandi vekuCanada vape mari, iro rakamisikidzwa zvine hungwaru kubatsira kuchengetedza ramangwana redu uye revana vedu, rinoratidzika kunge riri mari uye chaizvo. kuunza kuparadzwa kukuru kwezuva razvino uye kwomunguva yemberi. Izvo, kunyanya kufunga nezvekubatanidzwa kwenyukireya uye kushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze kuri kupa mari kumagumo chaiwo enyika. Mari yerufu, kubviswa kwemafuta ezvicherwa, kuchengetedzwa kwemvura, mhosva dzehondo…Ndingapokana kuti uku hakusi kungoisa mari kwakashata patsika, asiwo kudyara kwakashata mune zvemari.

Homwe yepenjeni yakanangana neramangwana revashandi munyika ino ingadai isiri kuita sarudzo dziri kuitwa neCPPIB. Uye hatifaniri kubvuma mamiriro ezvinhu aripo iye zvino. Uye isu hatifanire kugamuchira mari inogona kukoshesa vashandi vanogara muCanada tichikanda vanhu pasirese pasi pebhazi. Tinofanira kuramba hurongwa hwemudyandigere weveruzhinji hunoenderera mberi nekugovera zviwanikwa nehupfumi kubva kunyika dzakadzvanyirirwa pasi rose kuenda kuCanada. Ane mihoro inobva muropa rakadeuka kubva kuPalestine, kuenda kuColombia, kubva kuUkraine kuenda kuTigray kuenda kuYemen. Hatifanire kuda chimwe chinhu kunze kwehomwe inoiswa mune ramangwana ratinoda kugara mariri. Handifungi kuti ipfungwa huru.

Ini ndinomira nazvo, asi ndinodawo kuva akatendeseka kuti iyi ihondo ine hunyengeri iri pamberi pedu. World BEYOND War inoita mishandirapamwe yakawanda yekubvisa uye inohwina akati wandei gore rega rega, kungave kudhivha mabhajeti eguta kana mushandi kana zvirongwa zvepenjeni yakazvimirira, asi CPP inonetsa sezvo yakagadzirwa nemaune kuti ive yakaoma zvakanyanya kuchinja. Vazhinji vachakuudza kuti hazvibviri kuchinja, asi handifungi kuti ichokwadi. Vazhinji vachakuudzawo kuti vadzivirirwa zvachose kubva kusimba rezvematongerwo enyika, kuti vasave nehanya nekumanikidzwa neveruzhinji, asi isu tinoziva kuti hachisi chokwadi zvachose. Uye vanyori vepakutanga vakaita basa rakakura kuratidza kuti vane hanya zvakadini nemukurumbira wavo mumeso eruzhinji rweCanada. Izvi zvinotigadzirira mukana mudiki uye zvinoreva kuti tinogona kuvamanikidza kuti vachinje. Uye ndinofunga manheru ano inhanho yakakosha kune izvozvo. Tinofanira kutanga nekunzwisisa zvavari kuita munzira yekuvaka mafambiro akafaranuka kuti vachinje.

Pane nzira dzakawanda dzekuti tingaunze sei shanduko iyi asi chimwe chandinoda kuburitsa ndechekuti makore maviri ega ega vanoita misangano yeruzhinji munyika yose - kazhinji misangano ingangoita matunhu ese kana ndima. Kudonha uku ndipo pazvichaitika zvakare uye ndinofunga izvi zvinopa nguva yakakosha apo isu tinogona kuronga mharadzano nekuvaratidza kuti hatina chivimbo muzvisarudzo zvavari kuita - kuti mukurumbira wavo uri panjodzi. Uye kwatisingafaniri kuda chimwe chinhu kunze kwehomwe yakaiswa mari mukati uye nekuvaka ramangwana ratinoda kugara mariri.
