Kulezi zinsuku, imicabango nezingxoxo zezizwe zaseNtshonalanga zibuswa yimpi phakathi kweRussia ne-Ukraine, okuvame ukuvunywa njengempi yommeleli wase-US lapho i-US ifuna ukudicilela phansi iRussia. Uma lokho sekufeziwe, i-US ingathatha izimakethe zaseYurophu ngegesi ye-methane, i-lithium nezinye izinsiza. Uhulumeni waseCanada we-neoliberal nawo unentshisekelo enkulu ekuqhubekiseleni phambili ukungqubuzana.
Kepha kubantu baseCanada, kunenye impi yommeleli eyenzekayo, eduzane nasekhaya.
Emuva ngo-2019, uhulumeni omncane weqembu leLiberal laseCanada (LPC) wanquma ukufaka ipayipi legesi eliqhekekile elingamakhilomitha angama-670, elizosuka eDawson Creek liye eKitimat BC - bese lidlulela ezimakethe zomhlaba. Lo mzila wepayipi we-Coastal Gaslink unqamula amakhilomitha-skwele angu-6.6 womhlaba wendabuko ongashiyiwe—isizwe sase-Wet'suwet'en saseNyakatho Emaphakathi BC.
Uhulumeni wethu we-LPC ufuna ukuthi lelo payipi lidlule, ukuze kwandiswe inkathi yobuwula bensalela kanye nenzuzo ehilelekile, futhi kujabulise izithakazelo zebhizinisi eziyiziwula eziqinisekisa ukuthi amaLiberals aphinde aqokwe.
Okuxakayo ku-LPC, kukhona ukuphikiswa kwalolu hlelo. Abantu base-Wet'suwet'en bafisa ukuthi amalungelo abo esivumelwano ahlonishwe, ukuze kuvikelwe imizila yamanzi engu-206 ezwela ngokwemvelo ipayipi elisongelayo. Ngakho-ke sinempi yommeleli, lapho i-LPC kanye nohulumeni we-BC besebenzisa i-RCMP (futhi ngokwezinga elincane abasebenzi abangenabungozi be-TC Energy) njengokuma kwabo, ukulwa nemvelo kanye ne-Wet'suwet'en ezovikela. yona.
Njengoba ngibhala lokhu, i-RCMP iqhubeka nomkhankaso wokuhlukumeza abantu isikhathi eside kubantu base-Wet'suwet'en, futhi inkampani ye-TC Energy ibhoboza ngaphansi komfula i-Wedzin Kwa (Morice River) njengoba nje i-salmon ezalayo izalela amaqanda ayo kulo lonke uhlelo lomfula. Ukudlidliza okuvela ekubhobolweni kungazwakala kuqhele ngamakhilomitha futhi kuzophazamisa amaqanda kanye nokuthosa okuncane uma/uma kuchanyuselwa. Ukubhoboza kungase kuthinte inqwaba yezinye izinhlobo zezilwane, okuhlanganisa ama-lamprey eels asohlwini oluluhlaza. Uhulumeni waseCanada usebenza ngenkuthalo ukungcolisa umhlaba i-Wet'suwet'en ewubheka njengongcwele. Ngamazwi ka-Sleydo, okhulumela indawo yokuhlola yase-Gidimt'en:
“Indlela yethu yokuphila isengcupheni. I-Wedzin Kwa [umfula] ophakela yonke indawo yase-Wet'suwet'en futhi unikeze ukuphila esizweni sakithi.”
Kodwa-ke, kubasekeli bayo, ipayipi le-Coastal Gaslink alikho emthethweni ngaphansi komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe. Embikweni oshubile, i-Stand.Earth ithi,
“I-Coastal GasLink iphinde yephule imvume yamahhala, yangaphambili, nenolwazi (i-FPIC), njengoba ivikelwe kusiMemezelo SeZizwe Ezihlangene Samalungelo Abantu Bomdabu (UNDRIP), futhi esamukelwa yiCanada kuwo womabili amazinga enhlangano nawezifundazwe. Ngisho neKomidi Lenhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene Lokuqeda Ubandlululo Lobuhlanga liye lacela uhulumeni waseCanada ukuba “amise ngokushesha ukwakhiwa futhi amise zonke izimvume nezigunyazo zokwakhiwa kwepayipi le-Coastal GasLink emazweni nasezindaweni zendabuko nezingavunyelwe ze-Wet'suwet'. en abantu, kuze kube yilapho benikeza imvume yabo yamahhala, yangaphambili nenolwazi, kulandela ukufeza ngokugcwele nokwanele komsebenzi wokubonisana.”
Impi yommeleli waseCanada ngokumelene nabantu boMdabu yinto okufanele igqugquzele intukuthelo yamazwe ngamazwe, kanye nezijeziso ezibhekiswe eCanada, kanye nezibhelu emgwaqweni. Esikhundleni salokho, uhulumeni wethu kanye nabezindaba abathobelayo bamatasatasa ngempi e-Ukraine. Amalungu ePhalamende aseCanada asho ngokuzwakalayo ukucasuka kwawo “okulungile” ngenxa yokuqhuma kanye “nokusangana” kukandunankulu waseRussia u-Putin, enyakazisa izandla futhi egedla amazinyo ngenxa yokuphathwa kabi kweChina ngama-Uighur, nokuphathwa kabi kwe-Iran kwabesifazane, futhi uhlu luyaqhubeka. Sizifela ngebala eliphambi komakhelwane, singaluboni ugodo kowethu.
Impi yommeleli ku-Wet'suwet'en yehliselwe esigabeni sezemvelo samaphephandaba, futhi ngokusobala, ayaziwa njengempi.
Ukuze kunqandwe impi, kufanele sivume ukuthi iyenzeka. Uma lokho sekufeziwe, abantu baseCanada abakhathalela ukuthula, imvelo, ukucwasa, amalungelo abantu kanye namalungelo emvelo bangathatha izinyathelo zokunqanda le mpi ngezindlela eziningi.
Okuhambisanayo
I-Royal Bank yaseCanada ingumxhasi ophezulu wezimali wepayipi le-CGL, kanye ne-BMO, i-Scotiabank, i-CIBC kanye ne-TD Bank. I-RBC inikeze amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-275 ekuxhaseni ngezimali, okuhlanganisa nemalimboleko exhaswe ngokuhlanganyela yamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-6.5 kanye nesikweletu sebhizinisi esingu-$40 wezigidi, kanye namaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-200 emali yokusebenza exhaswe ngokuhlanganyela.
I-RBC iphinde ibe namasheya angaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-85 ku-TC Energy, emele cishe u-8.6% wenkampani. Lesi isiteki samadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.03, kodwa enkampanini efana ne-RBC, lolu wushintsho oluncane, futhi uma i-RBC ikhethe ukwenza kanjalo, ingadonsa kalula le zimali futhi iyitshale kwenye indawo. Amaqembu aholwa izakhamuzi afana ne-Decolonial Solidarity asebenzela ukukholisa i-RBC, njengomxhasi ophezulu wezimali wephrojekthi ye-CGL, ukuthi yenze lokho kanye.
Izimpesheni zethu zitshalwe kulo msebenzi
Ngisola ukuthi abantu abaningi baseCanada abazi ukuthi imali yabo yokuthatha umhlalaphansi itshalwe kuphrojekthi yamapayipi engekho emthethweni eyandisa isikhathi sokuthembela kwethu emafutheni ezinto ezimbiwa phansi. Uma benza kanjalo, bangase bacele ukuba imali yabo itshalwe komunye umsebenzi, lowo okungenani ongeke uphazamise ikusasa lezingane zabo nabazukulu. Eqinisweni, lokho kungaba yinqubo ekahle yazo zonke izimali zohlelo lwempesheni. Kunalokho, izimpesheni zethu zitshalwa ngaphandle kwekhampasi yokuziphatha, ngenxa yenzuzo kuphela.
Leli thebula libheka ukuthi imali eyongiwe abantu baseCanada yomhlalaphansi isetshenziswa kanjani ukuxhasa iphrojekthi ye-Coastal Gaslink ngokuqondile, ngokusebenzisa i-TC Energy, futhi ngokungaqondile, ngamasheya emabhange okuyiwona axhasa ngezimali iphrojekthi ye-Coastal Gaslink. (Angikwazanga ukuthola i-CIBC ekubanjweni kwe-CPPIB noma i-CDPQ.)
Ngakho-ke, abantu baseCanada baphoqeleka ukuthi babambe iqhaza kulesi sigameko sokwenza inzuzo ngempi. Sicabanga ukuthi singaphansi kwentando yeningi, kodwa ingabe kunjalo ngempela, lapho abakhokhi bentela bengenalo izwi lokuthi imali yabo yokuphila itshalwa kanjani?
Yini ongayenza
Uma uzizwa ucasukile ngempi yommeleli yase-Canada, yima isibindi—kunezinyathelo ezimbalwa ongazithatha ukuze umise le phrojekthi yepayipi futhi uqede ukungqubuzana.
- Joyina I-Decolonial Solidarity ukunyakaza, okufaka ingcindezi ku-RBC ukuthi idonse uxhaso lwayo lwephrojekthi ye-Coastal Gaslink futhi ihlukane. Ngo-BC, lokhu kubandakanya ukuhlangana namaLungu ePhalamende; kwezinye izifundazwe, izishoshovu ziqola ngaphandle kwamagatsha e-RBC. Kunamanye amasu amaningi futhi.
- Uma uyikhasimende le-RBC, noma ikhasimende lanoma yimaphi amanye amabhange axhasa ngezimali ipayipi le-CGL, hambisa imali yakho kwinyunyana yezikweletu (i-Caisse Desjardins e-Québec) noma ibhange elilahle amafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi, njenge-Banque Laurentien. Bhalela ibhange ulitshele ukuthi kungani uyisa ibhizinisi lakho kwenye indawo.
- Bhalela uMhleli incwadi mayelana nempi yommeleli yaseCanada, noma ubhalele iLungu lakho lePhalamende.
- Sebenzisa inkundla yezokuxhumana ukuze wabelane ngolwazi ngempi yommeleli. Ku-Twitter, landela u-@Gidimten kanye no-@DecolonialSol.
- Joyina inhlangano ukuze uhlukanise i-Canada Pension Plan kumaphrojekthi abulalayo afana ne-CGL. Thumela i-imeyili ku-Shift.ca ukuze ufunde kabanzi mayelana nokuthi isikhwama sakho sempesheni siyisingatha kanjani ingozi ehlobene nesimo sezulu, kanye nokubamba iqhaza. Ungakwazi futhi thumela incwadi ku-CPPIB usebenzisa ithuluzi eliku-inthanethi.
Lena impi esingayinqoba, futhi siyilwela ukusindisa umhlaba, ukukhombisa ubumbano nabafowethu nodadewethu boMdabu, futhi ukuze inzalo yethu izuze ifa lomhlaba ophilayo. Ukuze baphile.
