Hey BCI + BC Public Sector Pensions Plans! In March 2022 you agreed to divest👇 from Russian firms.

The so-called "peace deal" published last week is already revealed as a web of Russian deceit.
One of its objectives is clearly to derail the initiative to use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine.
Europe must not fail Ukraine now.
Belgium should remember the sacrifices made for its freedom.

Great to hear!!! This is our growing thread calling for BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans to divest from firms like CAT that are linked to crimes in the Palestinian Territories, and highlighting other pension funds that have divested to different degrees.
Yet another example of BCI’s broken ESG policies: BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans have ~$30.24M in Caterpillar Inc (CAT), the giant construction equipment manufacturer. Yet in June, Norway’s biggest private pension fund dropped its shares in CAT “due to the risk… www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Nordic fund KLP excludes Caterpillar from portfolios due to Israel sales
Norway's largest pension fund KLP said on Wednesday it will no longer invest in Caterpillar Inc because of risk that equipment sold by the U.S. group to Israel is used to demolish Palestinian homes and infrastructure, including in the Gaza war.

Indeed. The Trump regime is a giant Russian asset. Such a tragedy for our ally Ukraine - and the rest of the free world - that the US has effectively switched sides at this moment of maximum peril.
Completely disgraceful, but hardly surprising that the Trump regime venerates other moral degenerates and criminals. It’s left now to the remaining democracies like 🇨🇦 + 🇪🇺 to redouble our efforts to help democratic 🇺🇦 defeat fascist 🇷🇺. That includes MUCH tougher sanctions. #MakeRussiaSmallAgain
Ukraine is not for sale. 🇺🇦
For today’s Trump/Zelenskyy/EU meeting, it's not “land gifts” that will stop Putin’s brutal military.
For a just peace, only crushing sanctions on Russian oil & gas will dry up his war chest!

Toyota held a secret meeting with Russian dealers and is lobbying to bring its cars into the country via China, Russian media reported.
Given the ongoing Russia's war on Ukraine, we strongly urge Toyota to reaffirm its stance on this issue to alleviate concerns and provide clarity on its position.

Well fascist Russia is actually incredibly fragile already, and if EU members and other democracies closed sanctions loopholes + stopped importing its fossil fuels, it wouldn’t have the $$ to keep brutalizing our ally Ukraine.
Fascist Russia is much more fragile than its cowardly apologists admit - its epic war losses are accelerating a demographic death-spiral and economic collapse.👇 So it’s incredibly important that 🇨🇦 + allies seize the moment to better help 🇺🇦 by tightening sanctions and hastening Moscow’s defeat.

The MOU is drafted like Alberta and Canada are the parents, and the other provinces and First Nations are the kids in the back seat.
The real problem with this Pipeline MOU, is that it's incredibly divisive.
Read it through this lens: it makes Canada and Alberta equal partners, and the rest of Canada (other provinces and First Nations) lesser players.
Look at BSKY tonight and see how much fighting it's already lead to.

This is not a good take. Carney's move signals to the rest of Canada, and the world, that it's OK to keep building more fossil fuel projects.
Other countries will use this to justify doing the same.
