1/ Fisheries and Oceans Canada is investigating #CoastalGasLink after Wet’suwet’en chiefs captured video footage of the pipeline company violating environmental regulations on sensitive salmon-spawning rivers on their unceded territory. #cdnpoli #bcpoli theglobeandmail.com/canada/british…

2/ “It was alarming,” said Tsebasa, a Likhts’amisyu clan chief. “It’s just really hard to process. I was really quite disturbed by the complete disregard for the salmon, the water, the people — our rights as Wet’suwet’en people.” #cdnpoli #bcpoli thenarwhal.ca/bc-cgl-sedimen…

3/ The Wet’suwet’en have never given their consent to the #CoastalGasLink fracked gas pipeline. They're suing the pipeline company, RCMP & a private security firm for using intimidation, harassment, & unlawful detention to make way for construction. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

4/ Seven of Canada's largest public pension funds hold nearly US$1.6 billion in shares in TC Energy, the company behind #CoastalGasLink. AIMCo, Alberta's public pension manager, co-owns the fracked gas pipeline. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #ableg

5/ @aimcoinvests, BCI, @LaCDPQ, @cppinvestments and @HOOPPnow have no policies pertaining to Indigenous rights that cover their assets or companies they own, a deeply problematic oversight in the era of reconciliation. #cdnpoli #UNDRIP

6/ @InvestPSP said in its 2022 annual report that it will support shareholder proposals that ask companies to uphold #UNDRIP & obtain the Free, Prior & Informed Consent of Indigenous People. (p.24).

PSP holds >US$10 million in TC Energy shares. #cdnpoli investpsp.com/media/filer_pu…

7/ Canadian pension funds claim to support investing responsibly in a safe climate future.

Yet they invest in a pipeline company building a fracked gas pipeline through unceded Wetʼsuwetʼen land without consent

This renders the term "responsible investing" meaningless.
