It's the year 2024, and BCI and BC Public Sector Pension Plans have at least $100 million (updated figure) invested in Big Tobacco. Sign this petition and tell them to quit! A short🧵 follows… secure.avaaz.org/community_p…

1/ The Canada Pension Plan is undermining its own net-zero pledge by committing over $3 billion so far this year to new coal, oil, gas and pipeline projects. nationalobserver.com/2024/11…

Today we solemnly mark 1,000 days since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine and almost 4,000 days since the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia.
Canada will continue to #StandWithUkraine for as long as it takes.

Still asking why BCI + BC Public Sector Pensions have $10M+ in climate arsonist Enbridge… What kind of ESG framework allows this? @AdamScottEnv
1/ Enbridge is telling investors it plans to expand its Mainline pipeline network to transport even more crude oil by 2026 or 2027. The Mainline already transports more than 3mn bpd of oil. Canadian crude production & exports are at record levels. #cdnpoli coastreporter.net/the-mix/en…

Here’s a 🧵 listing over a dozen of the firms doing business in/with 🇷🇺, in which BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans still have $100s of Millions parked. Remember, this is fuelling Putin’s genocidal assault on 🇺🇦. How does BCI’s ESG framework allow this?

Hey BCI + BC Public Sector Pensions Plans!
Two years ago you grudgingly agreed to dump your 🇷🇺 stocks.
How about taking the next step and dropping Western firms that continue business in Russia? Their taxes + tech fuel the Kremlin’s war on 🇺🇦

BCI + BC Public Service Pension Plans have $161 Million(!) of our pensions invested in climate arsonist Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. How is financing global warming in the interests of pension plan members and their families? @ActionShift @PatDeRocH @Seniors_CAN
1/ Following a slew of acquisitions, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNRL) has doubled its oil and gas production over the last decade and increased output by 9% in 2024.

Remembrance Day seems like an apt day to ask again why CPP, BCI and other big Canadian pension plans are using our pensions to invest BILLION$ in fossil firms that are openly aligned with FASCISM! (oh yeah, and torching the 🌎 too). Examples👆+👇

This announcement shows that Canada is listening and taking steps to meet the needs of Global South countries, but these efforts must be strengthened through a fair and ambitious #climatefinance goal that delivers at the scale and quality needed.💸

This just in: as #COP29 unfolds, 27 faith institutions just announced commitments to #divest from fossil fuels.
It's a moral imperative — AND financially responsible.

razomwestand.com/ukrainian-c… 🇺🇦@RazomWeStand calls on global leaders to prioritise clean #energy as the foundation for Ukraine’s recovery, security and independence.
Renewable energy is not just a tool for Ukraine’s recovery; it’s a strategic move to break Russia’s fossil fuel grip on the world. President @ZelenskyyUa and world leaders at #COP29 have a critical opportunity to invest in decentralised, renewable energy systems that will empower Ukraine to build back stronger, more resilient to attacks, and independent of Russia’s fossil fuel chokehold. @COP29_AZ

Your daily reminder that CPP, BCI and other big Canadian pension plans are using our pensions to invest BILLION$ in fossil firms that are both torching the planet AND fuelling fascists around the world. How is this good for our retirement security? @ActionShift @SenRosaGalvez

There is no retirement security without a safe climate future to retire into. It could become impossible for pension funds to fulfill their mandate if we allow the climate crisis to spiral out of control.
