Ngo-Agasti 3, 2022, amatsha ntliziyo amabini aseMontreal, uDimitri Lascaris kunye noLaurel Thompson, baphazamisa intetho yobudlelwane noluntu nguMphathiswa waseCanada uMelanie Joly kunye nomfokazi wakhe waseJamani u-Annalena Baerbock. Lo msitho ubusingathwe liQumrhu lezoRhwebo laseMontreal.
Ngaphambi kokuba abaphembeleli babini bangene, uJoly noBaerbock babechaza indlela iCanada isandula ukubuyisela i-turbine eJamani eyayifuneka ukugcina i-Nord Stream I gas iphuma eRashiya. Ngaphandle kwerhasi evela eRashiya, iJamani ingajongana nokunqongophala kwamandla okunokuba yintlekele kobu busika. Nangona kunjalo, njengoko uLascaris wabonisayo, uJoly watyhila ubuncinci bobunzulu bakhe ekuthetheleleni isenzo sakhe. Ngelixa isigqibo sokubuyisela i-injini yomoya yayipeyintwe njengesenzo sobuntu, uJoly watyhila olu khetho ukuba lube yinxalenye yesicwangciso sokuthintela urhulumente wasePutin ukuba angakwazi ukugxeka urhulumente waseCanada ngengxaki yegesi yaseJamani. ULascaris ugqabaza ecaphukile, "Ndiligeza, bendicinga ukuba eyona nto iphambili kurhulumente weTrudeau yayikukunceda abantu baseJamani, bangaphumeleli kwimfazwe yobuxoki noPutin."
ULaurel Thompson wafumana amalungu abaphulaphuli be-blasé ukuba ajonge phezulu kwiiselfowuni zabo njengoko engena kwigumbi kwaye aphakamise "NO NATO" iplacard. UThompson wakhumbula:
“Xa ndeva ukuba u-Annalena Baerbock kunye noMélanie Joly babeza kubakho kwindibano yengxoxo yaseMontreal Chamber of Commerce ngoLwesithathu odlulileyo, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndenze udweliso lwam njengomphazamisi ochasene nemfazwe. Uphazamiseko luqilima kuba uzama ukuqhekeza intetho eneenkokeli ezonyuliweyo eza kubhengezwa ngamajelo eendaba. Uyazi ukuba uya kumiswa, ke kuya kufuneka ukhuphe umyalezo wakho ngokukhawuleza. Kwangaxeshanye, loo nto incinci yokupapashwa ibalulekile kuba yenza abantu bazi ukuba asingabo bonke abavumelanayo noko kwenziwa egameni lethu. Ngabantu abashushu abaqhuba ihlabathi kule mihla, oku kubalulekile. Basenokuqalisa ukuthandabuza kancinane.
Bendifake ibhodi emva kweblukhwe yam, kuthe xa kufika ixesha lokungenelela, ndayikhupha ndaya kumbindi welo gumbi kukho iikhamera. Ndayiphakamisa phambi kwabo. Ndajika ndathetha neqonga apho uBaerbock noJoly babehleli khona. Andinalizwi likhwaza kakhulu ngoko andiqondi ukuba baninzi abantu abandivileyo. Ndathi ukulwa kwe-NATO neRashiya kwakungalunganga, kwaye kufuneka baxoxisane kungekhona ukukhuthaza imfazwe. ICanada ichitha imali eninzi kakhulu kwizixhobo. Ngoko nangoko, ndamiswa ngamadoda amabini andityhala ngobunono ukuya kumacango aphumayo. Enye yala madoda yandohlisa ngezitepusi ezine yaza yaphuma ngomnyango wangaphambili wehotele. Bendingaphandle komsitho kwisithuba esingaphantsi kwemizuzu emibini.”
Kungekudala emva kokungenelela kukaThompson, uLascaris wathetha. Lascaris kuchazwe:
“Mphathiswa u-Baerbock, iqela lakho kufanele ukuba lizibophelele ekungaxhatshazini bubundlobongela. Iqela lakho lazalwa ngenxa ye-NATO. Ungcatshe amaxabiso aphambili eqela eliGreen ngokuxhasa ukwandiswa kwe-NATO ukuya kwimida yaseRussia, kunye nokuxhasa ukonyuka kwenkcitho emkhosini. I-NATO idodobalisa iYurophu kunye nehlabathi!

Emva kokungenelela, uThompson wathi:
"Umboniso uqhubekile emva kokuba sihambile kwaye ukuphazamiseka kwethu nje okufutshane kuye kwanyamalala kwinkumbulo yabo babelapho egumbini kunye nathi. Nangona kunjalo, ngoku ndiqinisekile ukuba ukuphazamiseka, okwenziwe kakuhle, sisicwangciso esisebenzayo. Kufuna inkalipho ukuma nokukhwaza xa abanye abantu beseqongeni bethetha. Kodwa, ekubeni amanye amaqonga akhoyo - iileta eziya kumalungu ePalamente, ukubonakaliswa - azisebenzi, sinokukhetha ntoni? Uxolo alukhe lukhankanywe kule mihla. Isizathu sokuba ingakhe ikhankanywe kukuba akukho mntu, ngaphandle kwethu, obonakala eyifuna. Kulungile, yitsho ukhwaza!”
Bravo kwaba baphazamisi babini banesibindi sokuthetha uxolo! Baye babagungqisa oosomashishini ekuzikhathazeni kwabo, baphazamisa abezobupolitika, baza baphembelela amanye amatshantliziyo ukuba alandele ukhokelo lwabo.
