Ngelixa lokuxhalaba kwezempilo yoluntu malunga nobhubhani we-coronavirus, izilumkiso malunga nokuhamba okungabalulekanga, imithetho emitsha malunga neendibano zikawonke-wonke zabantu abangaphezu kwama-250, kunye nokucinywa kwemiboniso yamabhaso kunye namaxesha ezemidlalo, into enye kufuneka iqhubeke.
Abaququzeleli be-CANSEC baye bagqiba umemezele ukuba bajonge ukuqhubeka nomboniso wabo wezixhobo wonyaka e-Ottawa kulo Meyi uzayo.
I-CANSEC website iqhayisa ukuba iya kudibanisa abantu abayi-12,000 abavela kumazwe angama-55 kwiziko le-EY e-Ottawa.
Ukwagxininise ukuba umboniso wezixhobo uza kudibanisa "amaLungu ePalamente ali-18, iiSenetha kunye nabaphathiswa beKhabhinethi" kunye "nama-600+ VIPS, iinjengele, aphezulu emkhosini kunye namagosa karhulumente."
Yintoni e ngahambi kakuhle?
Ngaphandle komonakalo oza neejethi zokulwa, iitanki, imijukujelwa, imipu, iimbumbulu kunye neebhombu ezithengiweyo zaza zathengiswa kwi-CANSEC, ngoku kukho ingozi eyongezelelweyo kwimpilo yoluntu.
Ngaphezulu, i Ottawa Unayo umbiko, "Isithethi seSebe [loKhuselo lweSizwe] uJessica Lamirande uthe imikhosi yaseCanada kunye ne-DND isathatha inxaxheba kwi-CANSEC [ngoMeyi 27-28] kunye nenkomfa yembono [ngo-Epreli 7-9] ebanjwe yi-CADSI."
Kubonakala ngathi ngokokubona kwabo, ukuthengwa nokuthengiswa kwezixhobo kuyonakalisa impilo yoluntu.
Akwaziwa okwangoku ukuba uSodolophu uJim Watson uyakurhoxa isimemo sakhe kubathathi-nxaxheba beCANSEC "ukuhlola iHolo yeMidlalo yoDumo yaseOttawa kunye neBarbara Ann Scott Gallery kwiHolo yesiXeko, kunye nepaki ehlaziyiweyo yaseLansdowne, iipavilion zayo ezibuyiselweyo zelifa, kunye neTD Place entsha, ikhaya leqela le-Ottawa REDBLACKS CFL."
Masithembe njalo.
Besele kukho iinkxalabo malunga nababonisi kwi-CANSEC njengeGeneral Dynamics Land Systems (abakhi beemoto ezixhobileyo ezixhobileyo ezithengiswa eSaudi Arabia) kunye neBoeing, iLockheed Martin kunye neSaab (abazama ukufumana isivumelwano se-19+ yeebhiliyoni zeedola kunye ne-federal federal. urhulumente wamandla ombane, iinqwelomoya zokulwa ezingcolise kakhulu).
Kwaye kuye kwaphawulwa ukuba iibhiliyoni zeedola kwiingalo ezenziwe eKhanada zithengiswe koozwilakhe kule minyaka idlulileyo, ukuba umkhosi wase-US (umthengi omkhulu wezixhobo kunye neteknoloji yaseCanada) ngomnye wabangcolisi bukhulu kwimbali kwaye oko. iibhiliyoni urhulumente ajonge ukuzichitha emkhosini kukwabiwa ngendlela engeyiyo kwemali yoluntu echithwe ngcono kwiSivumelwano eSitsha sokuHlaza kunye nenguqu kuqoqosho lwamandla acocekileyo.
Kodwa ngoku sinayo le nto.
IZizwe eziManyeneyo uthi ukuba ubhubhani wehlabathi jikelele ufikelele kubantu abaphantse babe ngama-5,000, ngelixa inani lehlabathi lamatyala lidlule kwi-132,000.
The New York Times Iingxelo, “Phakathi kwe-160 lezigidi ukuya kuma-214 ezigidi abantu baseUnited States abanokosuleleka ebudeni balo bhubhani, ngokutsho kolunye uqikelelo. Oku kunokuhlala iinyanga okanye ngaphezulu konyaka, kunye nosulelo olugxile kwixeshana elifutshane, luphazamisekile ixesha lonke kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo, iingcali zatsho. Bamalunga nama-200,000 ukusa kwisi-1.7 sezigidi abantu abasenokufa.”
Abathengisi bezixhobo banokuba kwishishini lokuthengisa izixhobo ezibulala abantu, kwaye ezo zixhobo zibangela ingxaki yemozulu ebulalayo, kodwa ngoku singongeza kuloo nto injongo yokuqhubeka nomboniso wezorhwebo odibanisa amawakawaka abantu kwigumbi elingaphakathi. indawo ngexesha lobhubhane.
Ngoku, kunangaphambili, lixesha lokuba #CancelCANSEC.
