Sekuyisikhathi esingaphezu konyaka abantu baseCanada belwa nobhadane lwe-coronavirus emzimbeni, ngokwezezimali nangokomzwelo. Yize kunale nkinga, uHulumeni waseCanada uqhubeka nezinhlelo zokuthenga izindiza ezintsha zempi. Ikhungathekile ngohlelo lokusebenzisa amadola abakhokhi bentela ukuxhasa impi, i- Ayikho iNhlangano entsha yamaFighter Jets muva nje ubambe i-Fast Against Fighter Jets.
Ukulungiselela ukuzila, umfelandawonye, ngosizo lwe World BEYOND War, isingathwe okukhuthazayo webinar ngoFebhuwari mayelana nokuthi ukuzila ukudla neziteleka kungasetshenziselwa kanjani ushintsho lwezepolitiki. Ukuzila ukudla kuyizindlela ezihlonishwa ngesikhathi sokumelana nezombusazwe kanye nombhikisho ongenalo udlame. Izikhulumi kwi-webinar zifaka phakathi: uKathy Kelly, isishoshovu esidumile saseMelika kanye nomxhumanisi weVoices for Creative Nonviolence, ozile ukudla ukumisa impi e-Yemen; Souheil Benslimane, onguMxhumanisi we-Jail Accountability and Information Line (JAIL) hotline, obexoxa ngeziteleka zendlala ejele; Lyn Adamson, umsunguli obambisene we ClimateFast futhi usihlalo wesizwe kazwelonke we-Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, owazila ubulungiswa bezulu ngaphandle kwePhalamende; noMatthew Behrens, umxhumanisi wamaHomes not Bombs, ohole ukuzila okuningi okuqhubekayo kokuthula nobulungiswa.
Kusukela ngomhlaka-10 Ephreli kuya ku-Ephreli 24, abantu baseCanada abangaphezu kwekhulu abasuka ogwini baye ogwini babambe iqhaza kwi-Fast Against Fighter Jets yokuqala. Abantu bazile ukudla, bazindla futhi bathandaza futhi bathinta iLungu lePhalamende labo ukuzwakalisa ukungahambisani kwabo noHulumeni waseCanada ngokuthengwa okuhleliwe kwezindiza ezintsha ezingama-100 zama- $ 88 billion. Ngo-Ephreli 19th, enhle umlindelo wokukhanya kwamakhandlela online ibibanjelwe ukuxhasa abaseCanada bezila ukudla.
Amalungu amabili azibophezele, uVanessa Lanteigne onguMxhumanisi kazwelonke weCanadian Voice of Women for Peace noDkt Brendan Martin ongudokotela womndeni eBritish Columbia futhi oyilungu le World BEYOND War Isahluko saseVancouver, sizile ukudla zonke izinsuku eziyi-14 ukudlulisa ukuphuthuma kwesenzo. UMartin wazila ukudla ngezimpawu zakhe "izindiza zokulwa zisho impi nendlala" emphakathini epaki yangakubo. Phakathi ku podcast ibanjwe ngu World BEYOND War, ULanteigne noMartin bachaza kabanzi ukuthi bakholelwa kanjani ukuthi ukuzila ukudla kwakuyisinyathelo esibalulekile sokuhlonipha labo ababulawa esikhathini esidlule yizindiza zempi zaseCanada, nokuqwashisa abantu ngemali ebizayo yokuphambukisa izinsiza ezivela ezidingweni zabantu.
Ngesikhathi sokuzila ukudla, iCoalition iphinde yethula incwadi evulekele uPope Francis ukuthi akhuleke nezishoshovu ukuthi uHulumeni waseCanada, oholwa nguNdunankulu uJustin Trudeau - ongumKhatholika uqobo - ngeke athenge izindiza ezintsha zokulwa kunalokho azotshala imali ikhaya lethu sonke ”. UPapa wenze ukuthula kwaba yinto ephambili kubupapa bakhe. Njalo ngoJanuwari 1, uPapa unikeza isitatimende sakhe sokuthula emhlabeni. Ku-2015, ukhiphe isenzo esibalulekile sokukhuthaza ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu. Kwakhe Ikheli lePhasika kulo Ephreli, uPapa wathi “Ubhadane lusasakazeka, kuyilapho ubunzima bezenhlalo nezomnotho busalokhu bukhulu, ikakhulukazi kwabampofu. Yize kunjalo - futhi lokhu kuyihlazo - izingxabano ezihlomile azikapheli futhi nezindawo zokugcina amasosha ziyaqiniswa. ” E-Ottawa, izishoshovu zamaBuddha zazila ngokuzwana.
Ukuzila ukudla kuzwelonke kukhuthaze umyalezo wokuthi izindiza zempi ngeke zivikele abantu baseCanada ezinsongweni ezinkulu esibhekene nazo: ubhadane, inkinga yezindlu, kanye nokuguquka kwesimo sezulu okuyinhlekelele.
Yize uhulumeni waseCanada ethi kuzosetshenziswa amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-19 ekuthengeni lezi zindiza ezintsha, iNo New Fighter Jets Coalition ilinganisela muva nje umbiko ukuthi izindleko zokuphila zangempela zizosondela ku- $ 77 billion. Uhulumeni njengamanje ubheka amabhidi I-Super Hornet ka-Boeing, i-SAAB's Gripen kanye ne-Lockheed Martin's F-35 yokulwa futhi ithe izokhetha indiza entsha yempi ngo-2022.
INo New Fighter Jets Coalition ithi esikhundleni sokutshala imali kuzikhali zempi, uhulumeni wesifundazwe udinga ukuqala ukutshala imali ekubuyiseleni okulungile kwe-COVID-19 kanye nesivumelwano esisha esiluhlaza.
Izindiza zezindiza zisebenzisa uphethiloli okweqile. Isibonelo, uLokheed Martin's F-35 ukhipha okuningi ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni emkhathini ngendiza eyodwa ebangeni elide kunemoto ejwayelekile eyenziwa ngonyaka. Uma iCanada ithenga lezi zindiza zokulwa eziqinisa kakhulu ikhabhoni, ngeke kwenzeke ukuthi izwe lifeze imigomo yalo yokunciphisa ukungcola njengoba kudingwa yiSivumelwano saseParis.
UNdunankulu uTrudeau uthembise ukuphakamisa zonke izeluleko ezivelele zamanzi okuphuza emiphakathini yabomdabu eCanada ngo Mashi 2021. an Indabuko yomdabu ilinganiselwa ukuthi kungathatha u- $ 4.7 billion ukuxazulula inkinga yamanzi emazweni aboMdabu. Kodwa-ke, uhulumeni waseTrudeau wehlulekile ukuhlangabezana nesikhathi esinqunyiwe, kepha usahlela ukuthenga izindiza ezintsha zempi. Ngama- $ 19 billion, uhulumeni anganikeza amanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile kuyo yonke imiphakathi yabomdabu.
Ekugcineni, lezi zindiza zokulwa ziyizikhali zempi. Basizile ezindizeni eziholwa yi-US nezamaNATO e I-Iraq, iSerbia, iLibya neSyria. Le mikhankaso yokuqhuma kwamabhomu ishiye la mazwe ebucayi. Ngokuthenga izindiza zokulwa, uhulumeni waseCanada uqinisekisa ukuzibophezela kwethu kwezempi nasempini, futhi ephikisa idumela lethu njengezwe elakha ukuthula.

Izishoshovu zokuthula zaseCanada ziphinde zaqamba kabusha isimemezelo seLockheed Martin futhi zasisakaza ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ukuqwashisa ukuthi lokhu kuthengwa kuzozicebisa kanjani izikhondlakhondla zezikhali. Ngokudalula uLokheed Martin "njengomthengisi wokufa", banethemba lokuqwashisa ngobungozi balokhu kuthenga, futhi bakhuthaze abantu baseCanada ukuthi babambe iqhaza kule nhlangano.
