I-OTTAWA - Bangaphezu kwekhulu abantu abaphazamise ukuvulwa kwe-CANSEC, eyona ndibano inkulu yezixhobo zomkhosi eMntla Melika e-Ottawa, apho abantu abayi-10,000 bekulindeleke ukuba bahlangane.

Amatshantliziyo aphethe izibhengezo zeenyawo ezingama-50 ezithi “Yeka ukwenza iNzuzo eMfazweni,” “Abathengisi bezixhobo abamkelekanga” kwaye babambe uninzi “lwezobugebenga zemfazwe Qala Apha” iimpawu ezivale izithuthi kunye nokungena kwabahambi ngeenyawo njengoko abakhoyo bebezama ukubhalisa nokungena kwiziko lendibano, belibazisa uKhuselo lwaseKhanada. UMphathiswa uAnita Anand evula intetho ephambili isithuba esingaphezu kweyure. Kwiinzame zamapolisa zokususa abaqhankqalazi, baye babamba iibhenela, bafaka amakhamandela baze babamba umqhankqalazi omnye, owathi kamva wakhululwa ngaphandle kwetyala.

The mbhikisho yabizelwa "ukuchasa i-CANSEC kunye nokwenza inzuzo kwimfazwe nobundlobongela obuyilelwe ukuxhasa", ethembisa "ukwenza ukuba kungenzeki ukuba nabani na asondele naphi na kufutshane nezixhobo zakhe ngaphandle kokujongana nobundlobongela kunye nokuphalazwa kwegazi aba bathengisi bezixhobo babandakanyeka."

“Silapha namhlanje simanyene naye wonke umntu ojonge phantsi umbhobho wesixhobo esithengiswe e-CANSEC, wonke umntu osapho lwakhe lubuleweyo, uluntu lwathi lwagxothwa kwaye benzakaliswa zizixhobo ezithengiswayo kwaye ziboniswa apha” utshilo uRachel Small. , umququzeleli nge World BEYOND War. Ngelixa abangaphezu kwezigidi ezisibhozo ababaleki bebalekile eUkraine ukusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2022, ngelixa abantu abangaphezu kwe-400,000 bebulewe kwiminyaka esibhozo yemfazwe eYemen, ngelixa ubuncinci. 24 Abantwana basePalestine babulawa yimikhosi yakwa-Israel ukusukela ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, iinkampani zezixhobo ezixhasayo kunye nemiboniso kwi-CANSEC zenza irekhodi leebhiliyoni zengeniso. Ngabo kuphela abantu abaphumeleleyo kwezi mfazwe.”

U-Lockheed Martin, omnye wabaxhasi abakhulu be-CANSEC, ubone isitokhwe sayo sinyuka ngeepesenti ezingama-37 ekupheleni kuka-2022, ngelixa ixabiso lesabelo sikaNorthrop Grumman lonyuke nge-40%. Ngaphambi nje kohlaselo lwaseRussia lwaseUkraine, iGosa eliLawulayo likaLockheed Martin uJames Taiclet wathi kumnxeba womvuzo awathi waqikelela ukuba ungquzulwano luya kukhokelela kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lomkhosi olunyusiweyo kunye neentengiso ezongezelelweyo zenkampani. UGreg Hayes, iCEO yeRaytheon, omnye umxhasi we-CANSEC, xelelwe abatyali-mali kunyaka ophelileyo ukuba inkampani ilindele ukubona "amathuba okuthengisa kumazwe ngamazwe" phakathi kwesoyikiso saseRashiya. Yena wongezelela: "Ndilindele ukuba siza kubona inzuzo kuyo." UHayes ufumene iphakheji yembuyekezo yonyaka yezigidi ezingama-23 zeedola ngo-2021, ukonyuka nge-11% kunyaka ophelileyo, kunye ne-22.6 yezigidi zeedola ngo-2022.

"I-CANSEC ibonisa indlela enzulu ngayo inzuzo yabucala emiliselwe kumgaqo-nkqubo waseCanada wangaphandle kunye nomkhosi" wabelane ngoShivangi M, igqwetha lamalungelo oluntu lamazwe ngamazwe kunye nosihlalo we-ILPS eCanada. “Esi siganeko sibonisa ukuba uninzi lwabantu abaphezulu kurhulumente nakwihlabathi lamashishini ababoni imfazwe njengento etshabalalisayo, eyonakalisayo, kodwa njengethuba leshishini. Siyabonisa namhlanje kuba abantu be-CANSEC abenzi mdla wabantu abaqhelekileyo abasebenza. Ekuphela kwendlela yokubanqanda kukuba abantu abasebenzayo badibane baze bafune ukuba kupheliswe ukurhweba ngezixhobo.”

I-Canada ibe yenye yabathengisi bezixhobo abaphezulu kwihlabathi jikelele, kunye nokuthunyelwa kwezixhobo zaseKhanada zizonke zifikelela kwi-2.73 yebhiliyoni yeedola ngo-2021. Nangona kunjalo uninzi lwezinto ezithunyelwa ngaphandle ezibotshelelwa eUnited States azizange zibandakanywe kumanani karhulumente, ngaphandle kokuba i-US ingumrhwebi omkhulu wezixhobo zaseKhanada, ifumana ngaphezu kwesiqingatha sazo zonke izixhobo ezithunyelwa eKhanada nyaka ngamnye.

"Urhulumente waseCanada ucwangciselwe ukubeka ingxelo yakhe yonyaka yokuThunyelwa kweeMpahla zoMkhosi namhlanje," utshilo uKelsey Gallagher, umphandi ngeProjekthi Plowshares. "Njengoko bekusenzeka kule minyaka idlulileyo, silindele ukuba izixhobo ezinkulu zidluliselwe kwihlabathi liphela ngo-2022, kubandakanya nabaxhaphazi bamalungelo oluntu kunye namazwe angoozwilakhe."

Ividiyo yentengiso ye-CANSEC 2023 ibonisa i-Peruvia, i-Mexican, i-Ecuadorean, kunye nemikhosi yase-Israel kunye nabaphathiswa abazimase indibano.

Imikhosi yokhuseleko yasePeru yayi gwetywanga kumazwe ngamazwe kulo nyaka ngokusebenzisa kwawo amandla abulalayo, kuqukwa nokubulawa ngokungekho mthethweni, okuthe kwakhokelela ekuswelekeni kwabantu abangama-49 ubuncinane ngexesha loqhanqalazo olwaqhubeka ukusuka kuDisemba ukuya kuFebruwari phakathi kobunzima bezopolitiko.

"Ayisiyiyo iPeru kuphela kodwa iLatin America kunye nabantu behlabathi bonke banoxanduva lokumela uxolo kwaye bagwebe konke ukwakha kunye nezoyikiso eziya emfazweni," utshilo uHéctor Béjar, owayesakuba ngumphathiswa wezangaphandle wasePeru, kumyalezo wevidiyo kubaqhankqalazi. kwi-CANSEC. "Oku kuya kuzisa ukubandezeleka kunye nokufa kwezigidi zabantu ukondla inzuzo enkulu yabathengisi bezixhobo."

Ngo-2021, iCanada yathumela ngaphezulu kwe-26 yezigidi zeedola kwiimpahla zomkhosi kwaSirayeli, ukonyuka kwama-33% kunyaka ophelileyo. Oku kubandakanya ubuncinci i-6 yezigidi zeedola kwiziqhushumbisi. Ukuhlala ngokuqhubekayo kwe-Israel kwi-West Bank kunye neminye imimandla kuye kwakhokelela kwiifowuni ezivela kuluntu olusekiweyo mibutho kunye namalungelo oluntu athembekileyo Ubeka esweni kuthintelo olubanzi lwezixhobo ngokuchasene noSirayeli.

"I-Israel kuphela kwelizwe elinendawo yokumelwa ngozakuzo kwi-CANSEC", utshilo uSarah Abdul-Karim, umququzeleli wesahluko sase-Ottawa sePalestine Youth Movement. “Umsitho ukwasindleke imibutho yezixhobo zakwa-Israeli-enjenge-Elbit Systems-ehlala ivavanya itekhnoloji entsha yasemkhosini kubantu basePalestine kwaye emva koko ibathengise 'njengendawo evavanyiweyo' kwizibhengezo zengalo njenge-CANSEC. Njengolutsha lwasePalestine nolwama-Arabhu siyala ukuma ecaleni njengoko aba rhulumente kunye nemibutho yezixhobo benza izivumelwano zomkhosi apha e-Ottawa ezithi ziqhubele phambili ingcinezelo yabantu bethu ekhaya. ”

Ngo-2021, iKhanada yatyikitya isivumelwano sokuthenga iidrones kwa-Israeli umenzi wezixhobo ezinkulu kunye nomboniso we-CANSEC u-Elbit Systems, obonelela ngeepesenti ezingama-85 zeedrones ezisetyenziswa ngumkhosi wase-Israel ukujonga nokuhlasela abantu basePalestine eWest Bank naseGaza. I-subsidiary ye-Elbit Systems, i-IMI Systems, ingumnikezeli oyintloko weembumbulu ze-5.56 mm, kwaye yiyo. krokrelwa ukuba yabo bullet eyayisetyenziswa ngamajoni akwaSirayeli ukubulala intatheli yasePalestina uShireen Abu Akleh. Kunyaka emva kokuba edutyulwe ngelixa wayegqogqa umkhosi wase-Israeli kwisixeko sase-West Bank e-Jenin, usapho lwakhe kunye nabahlobo bakhe bathi ababulali bakhe basaza kuthwaliswa uxanduva, kwaye i-Ofisi yoMmeli womkhosi womkhosi wase-Israeli itshilo ukuba ayizimiselanga. ukulandela izityholo zolwaphulo-mthetho okanye ukutshutshisa nawaphina amajoni abandakanyekayo. IZizwe eziManyeneyo zithi uAbu Akleh wayengomnye wabo Kwabulawa abantu abangama-191 basePalestina ngamajoni akwa-Israyeli kunye nabemi abangamaYuda ngo-2022.

I-Indonesia lelinye ilizwe elixhotyiswe yiKhanada imikhosi yayo yezokhuseleko iye yaphantsi kokugxekwa kakhulu ngenxa yobundlobongela bokuchasana kwezopolitiko kunye nokubulala ngaphandle kokuziphatha ePapua naseWest Papua. NgoNovemba ka-2022, ngenkqubo yoPhononongo lweHlabathi lweHlabathi (i-UPR) kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo, ICanada iyacetyiswa ukuba i-Indonesia “iphande izityholo zokunyhashwa kwamalungelo abantu kwi-Indonesian Papua, ize ibeke phambili ukukhuselwa kwabantu, kuquka abafazi nabantwana.” Nangona kunjalo, iKhanada inakho ithunyelwa ngaphandle I-30 yezigidi zeedola "kwimpahla yomkhosi" eya e-Indonesia kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo. Ubuncinci iinkampani ezintathu ezithengisa izixhobo e-Indonesia ziya kubonisa e-CANSEC kubandakanya iThales Canada Inc, i-BAE Systems, kunye neRheinmetall Canada Inc.

"Impahla yomkhosi ethengiswa kwi-CANSEC isetyenziswa kwiimfazwe, kodwa nakwabezokhuselo ekucinezeleni abakhuseli bamalungelo abantu, uqhanqalazo loluntu kunye namalungelo emveli," utshilo uBrent Patterson, umnxibelelanisi wePeace Brigades International-Canada. “Sixhalabele kakhulu ukungabikho elubala kwi-1 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zeempahla zomkhosi ezithunyelwa zisuka eCanada zisiya eUnited States minyaka le ezinye zazo zinokuphinda zithunyelwe ngaphandle ukuze zisetyenziswe ngoonogada ukucinezela imibutho, abakhuseli kunye noluntu lwaseGuatemala, eHonduras. , eMexico, eKholombiya nakwezinye iindawo.”

I-RCMP ngumthengi obalulekileyo kwi-CANSEC, ngakumbi kubandakanywa iyunithi yayo entsha ephikisanayo yomkhosi - iQela lokuPhendula loShishino loLuntu (C-IRG). I-Airbus, i-Teledyne FLIR, i-Colt kunye ne-General Dynamics ngababonisi be-CANSEC abaye baxhobisa i-C-IRG ngee-helicopter, i-drones, izibhamu kunye neebhulethi. Emva kwamakhulu ezikhalazo zomntu kunye nezininzi izikhalazo ezidibeneyo zifakwe kwiKhomishini yokuHlola kunye neZikhalazo (CRCC), i-CRCC ngoku iqalise ukuphononongwa okucwangcisiweyo kwe-C-IRG. Ukongeza, iintatheli kwi I-Fairy Creek kwaye kuqhubeke Wet'suwet'en imimandla izise izimangalo ngokuchasene ne-C-IRG, abakhuseli bomhlaba eGidimt'en bazisile amabango embambano kwaye wafuna a ukuhlala kwenkqubo ngenxa yokwaphulwa kweCharter, kunye namatsha ntliziyo eFairy Creek wacela umngeni umyalelo womthetho ngezizathu zokuba umsebenzi we-C-IRG uzisa ulawulo lobulungisa ehlazweni kwaye usungule a inqanaba loluntu-amanyathelo izityholo zokunyhashwa kwenkqubo yeTshatha. Ngenxa yobuzaza bezityholo ezimalunga ne-C-IRG, iZizwe eziManyeneyo zokuQala kunye nemibutho yoluntu kwilizwe liphela zimemelela ukuba ichithwe ngokukhawuleza.

INGXELO

Abantu abayi-10,000 kulindeleke ukuba bazimase i-CANSEC kulo nyaka. I-expo yezixhobo iya kuhlanganisa ababonisi abaqikelelwa kuma-280, kuquka abavelisi bezixhobo, iteknoloji yasemkhosini kunye neenkampani zokubonelela, amajelo eendaba, kunye nee-arhente zikarhulumente. Kulindeleke ukuba kubekho abathunywa bezizwe ngezizwe abangama-50. I-CANSEC izikhuthaza njengendawo yokumisa enye yabaphenduli bokuqala, amapolisa, umda kunye namaziko okhuseleko kunye neeyunithi zokusebenza ezizodwa. I-expo yezixhobo iququzelelwe yi-Canadian Association of Defense and Security Industries (CADSI), "ilizwi leshishini" kwiinkampani ezingaphezu kwe-650 zokukhusela kunye nezokhuseleko ezivelisa i-12.6 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwingeniso yonyaka, phantse isiqingatha sayo zivela kumazwe angaphandle.

Amakhulu ee-lobbyists e-Ottawa amele abathengisi bezixhobo bengakhuphisani kuphela iikhontrakthi zasemkhosini, kodwa bephembelela urhulumente ukuba amise izinto eziphambili kumgaqo-nkqubo ukuze zilingane nezixhobo zomkhosi abazithengisayo. Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, BAE, General Dynamics, L-3 Communications, Airbus, United Technologies kunye neRaytheon zonke zineeofisi e-Ottawa ukuququzelela ukufikelela kumagosa karhulumente, uninzi lwabo ngaphakathi kweebhloko ezimbalwa zePalamente.

I-CANSEC kunye nomanduleli wayo, i-ARMX, baye bajongana nenkcaso eqatha ngaphezulu kweminyaka engamashumi amathathu. Ngo-Aprili 1989, iBhunga lesiXeko sase-Ottawa lasabela ekuchaseni umboniso wezixhobo ngokuvotela ukumisa umboniso wezixhobo ze-ARMX owenzeka eLansdowne Park nakwezinye iipropati zeSixeko. Ngomhla wama-22 kaMeyi, 1989, abantu abangaphezu kwama-2,000 baqhankqalaza besuka eConfederation Park benyuka ngeSitalato iBank bekhalazela umboniso wezixhobo eLansdowne Park. Ngosuku olulandelayo, ngoLwesibini umhla wama-23 kuCanzibe, i-Alliance for Non-Violence Action yaququzelela uqhanqalazo olukhulu apho kwabanjwa abantu abayi-160. I-ARMX ayizange ibuyele e-Ottawa de kube ngo-Matshi 1993 xa yenzeka kwi-Ottawa Congress Centre phantsi kwegama elihlaziyiweyo le-Peacekeeping '93. Emva kokujongana noqhanqalazo olubalulekileyo i-ARMX ayizange iphinde yenzeke de kwangoMeyi ka-2009 xa yavela njengomboniso wokuqala wezixhobo ze-CANSEC, waphinda wabanjwa eLansdowne Park, eyayithengiswe ukusuka kwisixeko sase-Ottawa ukuya kuMasipala weNgingqi wase-Ottawa-Carleton ngo-1999.
