Engler is also the only one who carries water for war criminal Putin and fascist Russia.

Canada expresses concerns to Russia after reports of plot to put incendiary devices on planes | CBC News The government of Canada has expressed concerns directly to Russia following reports that Moscow was behind a plot to put incendiary devices on planes flying to North America.

Totally. NATO members + EU states have been WAY too slow to support Ukraine, to see fascist Russia for what it is, and to appreciate the scale of the threat. Even now, many in Canada and Europe don’t understand that Ukraine is defending the wider democratic world - the Kremlin is at war with us too!

They are really doing great promo for the World Cup and Olympics. To try to save face, the regime is going to have to bus in red state dullards to fill the stands.

Very! Already bad enough that @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social was wasting so much time on this story last week. And today it was very first piece on radio news, AHEAD of πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ recognition of πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ and any discussion of a literal genocide underway! Journalistic malpractice. Thanks for good reminder re CRTC!

Agreed. Same goes for many of Canadaβ€˜s biggest public sector pension plan investment managers - like CPPIB, AIMCo and BCI - who continue to invest BILLION$ in climate arson and fascist-friendly fossil firms. Looking forward to a toasty retirement! 🀷

A big THANK YOU to our new πŸ¦‹ friends!!! The postsπŸ‘‡ give some basic background about BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans, and their investments. TL;DR - our pensions have big $$ in firms that are cooking the planet, funding fascists, and complicit in war crimes. Oh, and Big Tobacco. Spread the word!

The EU and NATO need to bypass Hungary. Ukraine would be a MUCH better member of both organizations.

And a good time to note that 750,000 or so British Columbians unwittingly have their public sector pensions heavily invested in ExxonMobil (and lots of other fossil firms). 🌍πŸ”₯

Further to theπŸ‘†post, it’s worth highlighting AkademikerPension’s rationale: β€œThe decision is based on an assessment that the ongoing conflict is not being conducted in accordance with international principles of proportionality, the
protection of civilians, and access to impartial humanitarian aid.”

Danish pension fund drops Israeli investments over human rights concerns Danish fund manager AkademikerPension is excluding Israeli state assets, including government-controlled companies, from its investment portfolio, it said on Wednesday, due to the war in Gaza and the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Adding to the growing wave of divestment from both Israel and firms doing business with Israel, AkademikerPension - a big πŸ‡©πŸ‡° pension fund manager - announced that it is β€œexcluding Israeli state assets, including government-controlled companies, from its investment portfolio… due to the war in Gaza.”

Precisely! Smith, Moe and the rest of the dinosaurs pushing fossil fuels (and actively undermining renewables) have some serious ideological blinders on. (Thatβ€˜s the charitable explanation - no doubt for many of them, continued support for oil + gas is entirely mercenary.)

Royal Bank financed $42B worth of fossil fuel development last year, more than any other bank | CBC News A report from a coalition of environmental groups shows that Royal Bank of Canada was the biggest fossil fuel financier in the world last year after providing over $42 billion US in funding.

πŸ’― Preposterous reputation laundering. Meanwhile, RBC’s massive financing of fossil extraction + climate arson will certainly directly contribute to suffering, disease, early deaths of 100,000’s of kids + adults globally. (Techniques for attributing climate damage might already make this calculable.)
