Marija Cvetkovska: Hello. My name is Marija Cvetkovska ... I know that the purpose of this company, AIMCo, is to maximize long-term financial terms and to avoid risk. Why is there no ethical consideration to this risk? Why is it that if basic human rights are violated – like, there’s no water, there’s no electricity, there’s no shelter in many places in Gaza. We choose to continue on this basis of risk when we don’t have any boundaries or ethical considerations for human lives. We talk about investing our money and that the money has to be secure, and the money is the only focus, but I think that there should be at least a boundary when it comes to human lives.

AIMCo owns more than 200 million shares in companies profiting and participating in the illegal occupation of Israel, 201,497,996 to be exact. I’m going to go through three of the biggest investing opportunities that AIMCo makes, the first one being Microsoft. AIMCo owns more than $141,055,945 into Microsoft, and Microsoft has a history of deep engagement with the Israeli high-tech industry and close ties to the Israeli military...

Another one of the big investments, like ownerships, that AIMCo has is with Airbnb. This is $17,778,025. Airbnb offers listings of accommodation in illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian and Syrian land.

And, lastly, I’m going to go over to Motorola Solutions, which I believe is $16,088,840 within the investments. This is a U.S.-based communications company and a surveillance company. Its equipment is installed in illegal settlements and in the separation wall in the West Bank, and it’s used by the Israeli military, police, and the prison service.

Yeah. I just really want to know why this ethical consideration isn’t taken into place. I do know that investing and money standards and all of this are very important to keep up some sort of – I know we’re in a recession – future economic prosperity potentially, but I do know that these boundaries should be respected and have to be respected. It doesn’t matter about the money. We cannot keep investing into these . . .

The Chair: Thank you very much.

Marija Cvetkovska: Please don’t interrupt me. We cannot keep . . .

The Chair: Actually, we’ll stop you right there. Thank you so much. Your question has actually already been asked by your friend.

I mean, personally, I can comment on Motorola as a former paramedic firefighter. Motorola is used by emergency services right across our province and across the nation. Fire departments and ambulances rely on that technology to help save lives, as an example.

Marija Cvetkovska: That’s not the same use. I’m not saying to . . .

The Chair: No. I’m sorry.

Marija Cvetkovska: I’m just saying that we have to, like, see where the money goes.

The Chair: Please. I’m sorry. I need you to please sit down and be respectful. I’m good enough to allow you to speak and to discuss your values even though it really doesn’t have anything to do with the heritage savings trust fund.

Let’s just continue on. Please go to someone online.

[ad_1] Builders are holding costs and different unit particulars near the vest to lure billionaire consumers to their prime penthouses. The technique appears to be working.

Witkoff and Monroe Capital are the builders.

Mast is in contract to promote a penthouse on the deliberate oceanfront Perigon growth for greater than $7,600 per sq. foot, though Miguel declined to verify or touch upon the deal. I've gotten used to that. What we're desirous about: Aimco is attempting to promote a waterfront workplace tower and adjoining house constructing in Brickell for… $650 million! The properties are being marketed as a possible redevelopment alternative. Looks as if it isn't the perfect time for this. What do you assume? Ship me a be aware at kk@therealdeal.com. CLOSING TIME Residential: The property of late mattress mogul Harry Acker offered his oceanfront Highland Seaside mansion for $21.2 million. A belief named for the handle of the property at 3719 South Ocean Boulevard bought the 9,200-square-foot mansion, which has 5 bedrooms, seven bogs, two half-bathrooms, a saltwater pool and 100 ft of oceanfront. Business: Shaked 21 LLC, led by Sagi and Anat Shaked, offered the Chase Financial institution-anchored workplace constructing at 1040 Weston Highway in Weston to GT Weston Holdings LLC for $9 million. The customer is led by Samuel and Sydnee Chandy of Southwest Ranches. —Analysis by Matthew Elo NEW TO THE MARKET My Eyelab and Lasik Imaginative and prescient Institute co-founder Massimo Musa listed his waterfront property at 2325 South Ocean Boulevard in Delray Seaside for $60 million.

As part of the Fair Deal Panel that Jason Kenney announced on Nov. 9 to "advance our vital economic interests," the repatriation of nearly $40 billion in Canada Pension Plan assets will be explored. Those assets would also be handed over to AIMCo, and they could be an irresistible target for an oil and gas industry that is struggling to attract investment — and a government that clearly wants to help it do just that.

Kenney has clearly signalled his willingness to increase public financing for private oil and gas companies on a vastly larger scale. Last April he committed $7.5 billion in provincial funds to completing the Keystone XL pipeline because TC Energy could not access private equity for the contentious project, a move he boasted was “a solid bet.” International finance experts disagreed, calling the investment an “idiotic waste.”

TC Energy stock has dropped 16 per cent since Alberta pensioners became majority owners in what could be a money-losing climate killer.

Mr. Kasawski: Given that Stephen Harper has been advocating since he signed the firewall letter in 2001 to have Alberta withdraw from the Canada pension plan and given that Harper approached this government months ago about taking over as chair of AIMCo and given that you are messing around with people’s retirement savings plans and ultimately their opportunity to retire, will the minister explain to Albertans why he put a politician in charge of their retirement savings? Albertans have told you before, and we’ll tell you again.

Some Hon. Members: Hands off our CPP.

Mr. Horner: They’re so choreographed today, Mr. Speaker. It’s cute.

What Do We Want From California Climate Policy?

What Do We Want From California Climate Policy?

By Severin Borenstein When you listen closely to debates over California climate change policy, it becomes clear that the disagreements are along two dimensions: what is the best approach to meeting the state’s goals and what exactly are those goals. I think the differences are increasingly about different goals, rather than about different methods of achieving those goals.

The Alberta Teachers' Association (ATA) says it will be taking the government to court over a ministerial order signed last month that they say gives teachers less control over their pensions.

The ATA said on Tuesday its provincial executive council had voted unanimously to initiate legal action, and that association lawyers are in the process of drafting a court application which will be filed once complete.

On Dec. 23, 2020, Finance Minister Travis Toews signed a ministerial order allowing the government-owned Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) to reject any changes proposed by the Alberta Teachers' Retirement Fund (ATRF). That order went into effect on Jan. 1.

Teachers have repeatedly expressed concerns following the passing of Bill 22, which transfers their pension investments under AIMCo's management. The pension fund lost billions last year, and some union leaders had expressed concerns the manager was making decisions to prop up oil companies.

Buying a 65% stake in the C$6.6-billion Coastal GasLink pipeline in northeastern British Columbia was the wrong way to invest Alberta’s public pension fund, Adam Scott and Patrick DeRochie of Shift: Action for Pension Wealth and Planet Health argue in an op ed last week for the Edmonton Journal.

The “late Christmas gift”, announced December 26 by the Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), “is likely to be a liability due to the financial, regulatory, reputational, and legal risks involved with the purchase,” Scott and DeRochie write.

And pension funds are aware of the threat.

“Many pension funds, including AIMCo, publicly recognize the financial risks of climate change and claim to screen their investments for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors,” Scott and DeRochie state. And “if ever there was a project that failed a credible ESG screen, it’s CGL,” based on its environmental risks as well as its failure to respect Indigenous rights.
