Isicwangciso somhlalaphantsi saseKhanada sixhasa ngezimali isiphelo sehlabathi kunye nento esinokuyenza ngayo

NguRachel Small, World BEYOND War, Julayi 31, 2022

Kutshanje ndiye ndanewonga lokuthetha kwi-webinar ebalulekileyo enesihloko esithi “Yintoni iBhodi yoTyalo-mali yeSicwangciso soMhlalaphantsi waseKhanada ngokwenene efikelela kuyo?” iququzelelwe kunye namahlakani ethu iJust Peace Advocates, iCanadian Foreign Policy Institute, iCanadian BDS Coalition, MiningWatch Canada, kunye neInternacional de Servicios Públicos. Funda ngakumbi ngesi siganeko kwaye ubukele ukurekhodwa kwayo ngokupheleleyo Apha. Izilayidi kunye nolunye ulwazi kunye namakhonkco ekwabelwana ngawo ngexesha lewebhu yewebhu nazo ezikhoyo apha.

Nanga amagqabantshintshi endabelana ngawo, ndishwankathela ezinye zeendlela iSicwangciso soMhlalaphantsi saseCanada sixhasa ngezimali ukufa kunye nokutshatyalaliswa kwabantu kunye neplanethi - kubandakanywa ukutsalwa kwe-fossil fuel, izixhobo zenyukliya, kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe - kwaye igxininisa ukuba kutheni kwaye kufuneka sifune nto. ngaphantsi kwengxowa-mali etyalwe kuyo kwaye eneneni sakhe ikamva esifuna ukuhlala kulo.

Igama lam ndinguRachel Omncinci, ndinguMququzeleli waseCanada World Beyond War, inethiwekhi yomhlaba wonke kunye nentshukumo ekhuthaza ukupheliswa kwemfazwe (kunye neziko lemfazwe) kunye nokutshintshwa kwayo ngoxolo olunobulungisa noluzinzileyo. Sinamalungu kumazwe e-192 kwihlabathi liphela asebenza ukubhengeza iintsomi zemfazwe kunye nokuxhasa-kunye nokuthatha amanyathelo abambekayo okwakha-enye inkqubo yokhuseleko yehlabathi. Enye isekelwe kukhuseleko lokunganyangeki, ukulawula ungquzulwano ngokungenabundlobongela, kunye nokudala inkcubeko yoxolo.

Njengabaququzeleli, amatshantliziyo, amavolontiya, abasebenzi, kunye namalungu ethu amangalisayo world beyond war Izahluko esizisebenzelayo ukuphelisa ubundlobongela bomkhosi kunye noomatshini bemfazwe, ngokubambisana nabo bachatshazelwa kakhulu yiyo.

Mna ngokwam ndihlala eTkaronto, leyo njengezixeko ezininzi abantu abajoyina kuzo, esakhiwe kumhlaba obiweyo weMveli. Ngumhlaba wookhokho be-Huron-Wendat, i-Haudenosaunee, kunye nabantu base-Anishinaabe. Ngumhlaba ekufuneka ubuyiselwe.

IToronto ikwayindawo yezemali yaseCanada. Kubaququzeleli be-anticapitalist okanye abo babandakanyekayo kwi-injustice yemigodi, oku kuthetha ukuba esi sixeko ngamanye amaxesha saziwa ngokuba "yisisu sesilo".

Kuyaphawuleka ukuba njengoko sithetha namhlanje malunga nokutyala ubutyebi baseKhanada kangangokuba ubutyebi beli lizwe bubiwe kubantu boMthonyama, buvela ekususweni kwabo kwimihlaba yabo, ngokufuthi ukuya kukhupha izinto zokwakha ubutyebi, nokuba kungeendlela ezicacileyo. imigodi, i-oyile negesi, njl.njl. Iindlela apho ngeendlela ezininzi i-CPP iqhubela phambili nobukoloniyali, kokubini kwiTurtle Island kunye nasePalestine, eBrazil, kumazantsi ehlabathi, nangaphaya yingxoxo ebalulekileyo yangokuhlwa nje yonke.

Njengoko bekuchaziwe ekuqaleni, ingxowa-mali yomhlalaphantsi yaseCanada yenye yezona zinkulu ehlabathini. Kwaye ndifuna ukwabelana ngolwazi ngoku malunga nendawo encinci yotyalo-mali lwayo, ekushishino lwezixhobo.

Njengamanani asanda kukhutshwa kwingxelo yonyaka yeCPPIB I-CPP okwangoku ityala imali kwiinkampani ezili-9 kwiinkampani eziphezulu ezingama-25 zehlabathi (ngoku ka olu luhlu). Enyanisweni, ukususela ngo-Matshi 31 2022, i-Canada Pension Plan (CPP) ine kwezo mali kubathengisi bezixhobo behlabathi abangama-25 abaphezulu:

Lockheed Martin - ixabiso lemarike $76 yezigidi CAD
Boeing - ixabiso kwimarike $70 yezigidi CAD
Northrop Grumman - ixabiso lemarike $38 yezigidi CAD
Airbus - ixabiso lemarike $441 yezigidi CAD
L3 Harris - ixabiso lemarike $27 million CAD
I-Honeywell - ixabiso lemarike ye-106 yezigidi ze-CAD
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries – ixabiso lemarike $36 yezigidi CAD
Jikelele Electric - ixabiso kwimarike $70 yezigidi CAD
I-Thales - ixabiso lemarike ye-6 yezigidi ze-CAD

Ukuyibeka ngokungafihlisiyo, olu lutyalo-mali lwe-CPP kwiinkampani ezizezona zenza inzuzo enkulu ehlabathini. Iingxabano ezifanayo kwihlabathi jikelele ezizise inkxwaleko kwizigidi zizise inzuzo erekhodiweyo kwaba bavelisi bezixhobo kulo nyaka. Izigidi zabantu emhlabeni jikelele ababulawayo, ababandezelekileyo, abagxothwayo bakwenza oko ngenxa yezixhobo ezithengiswayo kunye nezivumelwano zomkhosi ezenziwa yile mibutho.

Ngelixa abangaphezu kwezigidi ezithandathu ababaleki babaleka eUkraine kulo nyaka, ngelixa abantu abangaphezu kwe-400,000 bebulewe kwiminyaka esixhenxe yemfazwe eYemen, ngelixa ubuncinci. I-13 labantwana basePalestina babulawa kwi-West Bank ukusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2022, ezi nkampani zezixhobo zenza irekhodi yeebhiliyoni zengeniso. Ngabo, ngokungathandabuzekiyo kuphela abantu, aboyisayo ezi mfazwe.

Kwaye kulapho isixa esikhulu seemali zaseCanada sityalwa khona. Oku kuthetha ukuba, nokuba siyathanda okanye asithandi, sonke esinomvuzo wethu otyalwe yi-CPP, uninzi lwabasebenzi baseCanada, batyala imali ngokoqobo ekugcineni kunye nokwandisa ishishini lemfazwe.

U-Lockheed Martin, umzekelo, umenzi wezixhobo eziphezulu zehlabathi, kwaye utyalwe ngokunzulu yi-CPP, ubone isitokhwe sabo sinyuka malunga neepesenti ze-25 ukususela ekuqaleni konyaka omtsha. Oku kunxulumana neminye imiba emininzi yomkhosi waseKhanada. NgoMatshi urhulumente waseKhanada wabhengeza ukuba ukhethe i-Lockheed Martin Corp., umenzi waseMelika wejethi yokulwa ye-F-35, njengomthengi okhethiweyo wekhontrakthi ye-19 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kwiijethi zokulwa ezintsha ezingama-88. Le nqwelo-moya inenjongo enye kuphela kwaye kukubulala okanye ukutshabalalisa izakhiwo. Sisixhobo senyukliya, okanye siya kuba sisixhobo senyukliya esikwaziyo, sisemoyeni ukuya emoyeni kunye nenqwelomoya yokuhlasela emoyeni ukuya emhlabeni elungiselelwe ukulwa imfazwe. Olu hlobo lwesigqibo sokuthenga ezi jethi ngexabiso lokuncamathelisa i-19 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kunye neendleko zomjikelo wobomi $ 77 billion, kuthetha ukuba urhulumente ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuziva ecinezelekile ukuba athethelele ukuthenga kwakhe ezi jethi zamaxabiso aphezulu ngokuzisebenzisa. Kanye njengokuba imibhobho yokwakha ibethelela ikamva lokutsalwa kwamafutha efosili kunye nengxaki yemozulu, isigqibo sokuthenga iijethi zokulwa ze-Lockheed Martin's F35 sigxininisa umgaqo-nkqubo welizwe langaphandle eCanada ngokusekwe kukuzinikela ekulweni imfazwe ngeenqwelomoya zemfazwe kumashumi eminyaka ezayo.

Kwelinye icala ungaphikisa ukuba lo ngumba owahlukileyo, wezigqibo zomkhosi waseKhanada zokuthenga iijethi zokulwa zikaLockheed, kodwa ndicinga ukuba kubalulekile ukudibanisa oko nendlela iSicwangciso soMhlalaphantsi saseCanada sityala imali eninzi yezigidi zeedola ngokufanayo. inkampani. Kwaye ezi zimbini nje iindlela ezininzi apho iCanada inegalelo kwingeniso yerekhodi ye-Lockheed kulo nyaka.

Kwakhona kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba zonke kodwa ezimbini kwiinkampani ze-9 endizikhankanyileyo ngaphambili ukuba i-CPP ityala imali nazo zibandakanyeka kakhulu ekuvelisweni kwezixhobo zenyukliya kwihlabathi jikelele. Kwaye oku akubandakanyi utyalo-mali olungathanga ngqo kubavelisi bezixhobo zenyukliya ekuya kufuneka sidwelise ezinye iinkampani ezininzi.

Andinaxesha apha namhlanje lokuthetha kakhulu malunga nezixhobo zenyukliya, kodwa kufanelekile ukusikhumbuza sonke ukuba kukho ngaphezu kwe-13,000 yeemfazwe zenyukliya ezikhoyo namhlanje. Abaninzi bakwimeko ephakamileyo, ekulungele ukuqaliswa kwimizuzu, mhlawumbi ngabom okanye ngenxa yengozi okanye ukungaqondi kakuhle. Nakuphi na ukuqaliswa okunjalo kuya kuba nemiphumo eyintlekele kubomi baseMhlabeni. Ngamafutshane, izixhobo zenyukliya zisisisongelo esinzulu nesangoko nangoko ekusindeni koluntu lokoqobo. Kubekho iingozi ezibandakanya ezi zixhobo e-US, eSpain, eRussia, eBritish Columbia nakwamanye amashumi eminyaka.

Kwaye nje ukuba sikwisihloko esivuyisayo sezoyikiso kubomi bomntu, ndifuna ukuqaqambisa ngokufutshane enye indawo yotyalo-mali lwe-CPP - amafutha efosili. I-CPP ityalwe ngokunzulu ekuqhubeleni ingxaki yemozulu. Iingxowa-mali zomhlalaphantsi zaseKhanada zityala iibhiliyoni zeerandi zethu zomhlalaphantsi kwiinkampani nakwii-asethi ezandisa iziseko ze-oyile, igesi namalahle. Kwiimeko ezininzi, iingxowa-mali zethu zomhlalaphantsi zide zibe ngabanini imibhobho, iinkampani ze-oyile negesi, yaye amasimi erhasi elunxwemeni ngokwabo.

I-CPP ikwangumtyali-mali omkhulu kwiinkampani zemigodi. Ongaqhubekiyo kuphela nobukoloniyali, kwaye unoxanduva lobusela bomhlaba kunye nokungcoliseka kodwa kunye nokutsalwa kunye nokusetyenzwa okuphambili kwesinyithi kunye nezinye izimbiwa ngokwayo 26 ekhulwini yokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni yehlabathi.

Kumanqanaba amaninzi i-CPP yenza utyalo-mali kwinto esiyaziyo ukuba iya kwenza ukuba umhlaba ungaphili kwizizukulwana ezizayo. Kwaye kwangaxeshanye bakukhuthalele kakhulu ukuhlamba utyalo-mali lwabo. IBhodi yoTyalo-mali yeSicwangciso soMhlalaphantsi saseKhanada (CPP Investments) kutshanje ibhengeze ukuba benza isibophelelo kwipotfoliyo yabo kunye nemisebenzi yokuphumeza i-net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) ekhutshwayo kuyo yonke imida ngo-2050. Oku kuncinane kakhulu emva kwexesha kwaye kujongeka kakhulu ngakumbi ngakumbi. njengokuhlamba uhlaza kunokuzinikela ngokukhutheleyo ukugcina amafutha efosili emhlabeni nto leyo esiyaziyo ukuba iyafuneka ngokwenene.

Kwakhona ndifuna ukuchukumisa ingcamango yokuzimela kweCPP. I-CPP igxininisa ukuba ngokwenene bazimeleyo koorhulumente, ukuba endaweni yoko banike ingxelo kwiBhodi yabaLawuli, kwaye yiBhodi evuma imigaqo-nkqubo yabo yotyalo-mali, imisela ulwalathiso lweqhinga (ngokubambisana nolawulo loTyalo-mali lweCPP) kwaye ivume izigqibo eziphambili malunga nendlela ingxowa-mali. isebenza. Kodwa ngubani le bhodi?

Kumalungu ali-11 akhoyo ngoku kwibhodi yabalawuli yeCPP, ubuncinci amathandathu asebenze ngokuthe ngqo okanye asebenza kwiibhodi zeenkampani zamafutha efosili kunye nabaxhasi babo ngezimali.

Ngokucacileyo usihlalo webhodi yeCPP nguHeather Munroe-Blum oye wajoyina ibhodi yeCPP ngo-2010. Ngethuba lokuhlala kwakhe apho, uye wahlala kwibhodi ye-RBC, engumboleki wokuqala kunye nomtyali-mali okwinombolo yesibini kwicandelo le-fossil yaseCanada. . Mhlawumbi ngaphezu kwalo naliphi na elinye iziko eCanada ingeyiyo ngokwayo inkampani yeoli, inomdla onzulu wokubona imveliso yamafutha efosili ikhula. Ngokomzekelo, ngoyena mxhasi-mali mkhulu wombhobho we-Coastal Gaslink otyhala kumhlaba wase-Wet'suwet'en ekhonjwe ngemipu. I-RBC ikwangumtyali-mali omkhulu kushishino lwezixhobo zenyukliya. Nokuba kukho ungquzulwano olusesikweni lomdla, amava ka-Munroe-Blum kwibhodi ye-RBC akanakunceda kodwa axelele indlela acinga ukuba i-CPP kufuneka iqhutywe ngayo okanye iintlobo zotyalo-mali abaluthatha lukhuselekile.

I-CPP ithi kwiwebhusayithi yabo injongo yabo “kukudala ukhuseleko lomhlalaphantsi kwizizukulwana zabantu baseCanada” kwaye umgca wesibini wengxelo yabo yonyaka abasandula ukuyikhupha ithi eyona nto bagxile kuyo “kukukhusela ezona mfuno zabaxhamli beCPP kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana.” Ngokusisiseko ndicinga ukuba kufuneka sizibuze ukuba kutheni le nto iziko elinyanzelekileyo kuninzi lwabasebenzi baseCanada ukuba bafake isandla kulo, elimiselwe ngokubonakalayo ukunceda ukukhusela ikamva lethu kunye nelabantwana bethu, libonakala liyinkxaso-mali kwaye eneneni. ezisa intshabalalo enkulu yangoku neyexesha elizayo. Oko, ngakumbi ukuqwalasela ukubandakanyeka kwenyukliya kunye nokutshintsha kwemozulu kukuxhasa ngezimali ukuphela kwehlabathi. Inkxaso-mali yokufa, ukutsalwa kwepetroli yefosili, ukuthengiswa kwamanzi abucala, ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe…Ndingaphikisa ukuba ezi ayilotyalo-mali olubi nje kuphela, kodwa lutyalo-mali olubi ngokwasezimalini.

Ingxowa-mali yomhlalaphantsi egxile kwikamva labasebenzi beli lizwe ibingazukuthatha izigqibo ezenziwa yiCPPIB. Kwaye asifanele siyamkele imeko yangoku. Kwaye akufuneki ukuba samkele utyalo-mali olunokuxabisa abasebenzi bahlala eCanada ngelixa siphosa abantu kwihlabathi liphela phantsi kwebhasi. Kufuneka sikhabe inkqubo yomhlalaphantsi karhulumente eqhubeka nokusasaza izibonelelo kunye nobutyebi obusuka kumazwe axhatshaziweyo kwihlabathi liphela ukuya eCanada. Umvuzo kabani ophuma egazini elaphalazwa ukusuka ePalestine, ukuya eKholombiya, ukusuka eUkraine ukuya eTigray ukuya eYemen. Akufunekanga sifune nto ingaphantsi kunengxowa-mali etyalwe kwixa elizayo esifuna ukuhlala kuyo. Andiqondi ukuba sisiphakamiso esiqatha.

Ndimi kuloo nto, kodwa ndifuna ukunyaniseka ukuba eli lidabi elinenkohliso eliphambi kwethu. World BEYOND War yenza amaphulo amaninzi okuqhawula imali kwaye iphumelele aliqela minyaka le, nokuba iyaluchitha uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwesixeko okanye izicwangciso zabasebenzi okanye zabucala, kodwa i-CPP inzima njengoko iyilwe ngabom ukuba ibenzima kakhulu ukuyitshintsha. Abaninzi baya kukuxelela ukuba akunakwenzeka ukutshintsha, kodwa andiqondi ukuba yinyani leyo. Abaninzi baya kukuxelela ukuba bakhuseleke ngokupheleleyo kwiimpembelelo zezopolitiko, ekubeni bazixhalabise ngoxinzelelo loluntu, kodwa siyazi ukuba akuyonyani ngokupheleleyo. Kwaye abaphaneli bangaphambili benze umsebenzi omhle wokubonisa ukuba balikhathalele kangakanani igama labo kuluntu lwaseCanada. Oko kudala indawo encinci kuthi kwaye kuthetha ukuba singabanyanzela ngokupheleleyo ukuba batshintshe. Kwaye ndicinga ukuba ngokuhlwanje linyathelo elibalulekileyo elisingise kuloo nto. Kufuneka siqale ngokuqonda into abayenzayo kwindlela eya ekwakheni iintshukumo ezibanzi zokuyitshintsha.

Zininzi iindlela esinokuzisa ngazo olo tshintsho kodwa enye endifuna ukuyiqaqambisa kukuba qho emva kweminyaka emibini babamba iintlanganiso zoluntu kwilizwe liphela – idla ngokuba linye phantse kuwo onke amaphondo okanye imimandla. Oku kuwa kuxa oko kuya kwenzeka kwakhona kwaye ndicinga ukuba oku kubonisa umzuzu obalulekileyo apho sinokuququzelela ngokuhlangana kweendlela kwaye sibabonise ukuba asinathemba kwizigqibo abazenzayo - ukuba igama labo lisemngciphekweni kakhulu. Kwaye apho kufuneka sifune nto ingaphantsi kunengxowa-mali etyalwe kuyo kwaye eneneni sakhe ikamva esifuna ukuhlala kulo.
