ICanada akufanele ithenge ama-jets abizayo, aqukethe i-carbon, kakhulu futhi abhubhisayo.
Kuqhubeka imibhikisho ngoLwesihlanu emahhovisi angaphezu kuka-15 ePhalamende ezweni lonke efuna uhulumeni wesifundazwe akuhoxise ukuthenga kwakhe izindiza ezintsha ze “Generation 5”.
Amademoni afuna ama-dollar ayizigidigidi ezingama-19 ama-jets angabiza ukuchitha imali ezinhlelweni ezingalimazi kangako imvelo futhi zinenzuzo enkulu emphakathini.
Amafemu wezikhali kufanele kuze kube sekupheleni kwenyanga ukuthi athumele amabhidi awo wokwenza ama-jets amasha angama-88. UBoeing (Super Hornet), uSaab (Gripen) noR Lockheed Martin (F-35) bafake amabhidi, kanti uhulumeni wumbuso kulindeleke ukuthi ukhethe ohlulekile ngo-2022.
Kunezizathu eziningi zokuphikisana nokuthengwa kwalezi zikhali.
Eyokuqala ithegi yamanani ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-19- amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-216 ngendiza ngayinye. Ngama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-19, uhulumeni angakhokhela ujantshi olula emadolobheni ambalwa. Ekugcineni ingalungisa inkinga yamanzi okuqala futhi iqinisekise nokuphuza amanzi anempilo kuyo yonke indawo ebekelwe, futhi isenemali eyanele yokwakha amayunithi angama-64,000 ezindlu zokuhlala umphakathi.
Kodwa akuyona nje indaba yokuchitha imali ngokweqile. ICanada isivele ijubane ukuphuma amagesi abamba ukushisa kakhulu kunokuvumelana nalokho obekuvunyelwene ngakho kwisivumelwano sangonyaka ka-2015 eParis. Kodwa-ke siyazi ukuthi ama-fighter jets asebenzisa amanani amangalisayo kaphethiloli. Ngemuva kwe ngamabhomu izinyanga eziyisithupha laseLibya ngonyaka we-2011, iRoyal Canadian Air Force embule Jets zayo ezinesigamu neshumi nambili zidle amakhilogremu ayizigidi eziyi-14.5 - amalitha ayizigidi eziyi-8.5 - kaphethiloli Ukukhishwa kweCarbon ezindaweni eziphakeme futhi kunomthelela wokufudumala xaxa, kanye nokunye “okukhishwayo” - i-nitrous oxide, umusi wamanzi nesot - kukhiqiza eminye imithelela yesimo sezulu.
Ama-jitter fighter awadingeki ukuvikela abantu baseCanada. Owayengungqongqoshe Wezokuvikela Kuzwelonke uCharles Nixon ukuphikisana kahle azikho izinsongo ezithembekile ezidinga iCanada ukuthi ibe namajethi amasha wokulwa. Lapho inqubo yokuthengwa kwempahla iqala, uNixx wabhala ukuthi "ama-jini" ama-fitness "awadingekile ukuvikela ubukhosi noma ubukhosi beCanada." Uveze ukuthi ngeke babe nalusizo olukhulu ekubhekaneni nokuhlaselwa okufana ne-5/9, baphendule ezinhlekeleleni zemvelo, bahlinzeka ngosizo lwamazwe omhlaba jikelele noma ekusebenzeni ngokugcina ukuthula.
Lezi yizikhali ezihlaselayo eziyingozi eziklanyelwe ukuthuthukisa amandla omkhosi womoya ukujoyina ukusebenza ne-US ne-NATO. Emashumini ambalwa eminyaka adlule, Jets yaseCanada idlale indima enkulu ekuqhumeni ngamabhomu okuholwa yi-US e-Iraq (1991), eSerbia (1999), eLibya (2011) naseSyria / Iraq (2014-2016).
Ukuqhuma kwamabhomu okwenziwa izinsuku ezingama-78 kwengxenye yaseSerbia yangaphambili yeYugoslavia ngo-1999 kwephulwe umthetho wamazwe omhlaba njenge-United Nations Security Council noma uhulumeni waseSerbia kuvunyelwe it. Izakhamizi ezingaba ngu-500 zashona ngesikhathi kubulawa amabhomu e-NATO kanti amakhulu ezinkulungwane adudulwa. Amabhomu “Ukucekela phansi izingosi zezimboni kanye nengqalasizinda wenza izinto eziyingozi zingcolisa umoya, amanzi nenhlabathi. ” Ukubhujiswa ngamabomu kwezitshalo zamakhemikhali okubangelwa ukulimala okukhulu kwemvelo. Amabhuloho nengqalasizinda efana nezitshalo zokwelapha amanzi namabhizinisi kwalimala noma kwacekelwa phansi.
Ukuqhuma kwamabhomu kwakamuva eSyria kungenzeka futhi kwephule umthetho wamazwe omhlaba. Ngo-2011, uMkhandlu Wezokuphepha we-UN kuvunyelwe indawo engekho-fly ukuvikela izakhamizi zaseLibya, kepha ukuqhuma kwe-NATO kudlula kude ukugunyazwa kwe-UN.
Amandla afanayo ayedlalwa eMpini YaseGulf ekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-90's. Ngaleyo mpi, ama-jettian fighter aseCanada enza into eyayibizwa kanjalo "Bubiyan Turkey Bhalobhasha" okuchithe imikhumbi yemikhumbi eyikhulu kanye nengxenye yengqalasizinda yezakhamizi zase-Iraq. Izitshalo zokukhiqiza ugesi ezweni zidilizwa, njengamadamu, izitshalo zokwelapha indle, imishini yokuxhumana ngocingo, izikhungo zembobo kanye nokuhlanza uwoyela. Cishe abe-20,000 amabutho ase-Iraq nezinkulungwane zezakhamuzi wabulawa empini.
E-Libya, Jets Jeet Jeet ilimaze uhlelo lwe-Great Manmade River. Ukuhlasela umthombo wamaphesenti angama-70 wamanzi wabantu kungenzeka ubugebengu bempi. Kusukela ngempi yango-2011, izigidi zamaLibya ziye zabhekana Inkinga yamanzi engamahlalakhona. Ngesikhathi sezinyanga eziyisithupha zempi, umfelandawonye ihlile Amabhomu angama-20,000 emabhacweni acishe abe ngu-6,000, kubandakanya nezakhiwo zikahulumeni ezingaphezu kuka-400 noma izikhungo zokuyalela. Amakhulu amaningi, cishe amakhulu, ezakhamuzi abulawa esitelekeni.
Ukuchitha imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama- $ 19 kuma-jatch-fighter jet kuphela kwenza umqondo ususelwe kumbono wenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yaseCanada okubandakanya ukulwa ezimpini ezizayo zase-US naseNATO.
Selokhu iCanada yahlulwa okwesibili ngokulandelana isihlalo eMkhandlwini Wezokuphepha ngoJuni, umfelandawonye okhulayo uye waqinisa isidingo esithi "sokuvuselela kabusha inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yaseCanada." An incwadi evulekile kuNdunankulu uJustin Trudeau osayinwe nguGreenpeace Canada, 350.org, Idle No More, Climate Strike Canada namanye amaqembu angama-40, kanye nama-MP amane ahleliwe noDavid Suzuki, uNaomi Klein noStephen Lewis, kufaka phakathi ukugxekwa kwezempi zaseCanada.
Iyabuza: "Ingabe iCanada kufanele iqhubeke nokuba yingxenye yeNATO noma esikhundleni salokho iphishekele izindlela ezingezona ezempi eziya emhlabeni wokuthula?"
Ngaphesheya kokwehlukana kwezepolitiki, amazwi amaningi andayo afuna ukubukeza noma ukusetha kabusha kwenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yaseCanada.
Kuze kube yilapho lokho kubuyekezwa kwenzeke, uhulumeni kufanele ahluleke ukusebenzisa imali engama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-19 kuma-jets amasha ayingozi.
