In its third episode of the Courage My Friends series season 10, Tom Fraser, a union researcher and author of Invested in Crisis: Public Sector Pensions Against the Future, and Becca Steckle, a research and policy analyst with Just Peace Advocates, joined to discuss how Canada’s public sector pensions are funding crises from housing to genocide, the restructuring of Canadian retirement security into capital funding for militarism and welfare erosion around the world and the urgent need for divestment toward a radical pension politics.

Just Peace Advocates (JPA) is currently analyzing over 100 Canadian pensions, financial institutions, insurance companies, wealth management funds, and other entities that are required to file with the United States Security Exchange Commission (US-SEC).

This analysis is considering investments complicit with war crimes and genocide by these entities in their 2025 quarterly filings with the US-SEC.

This builds on the work JPA has done since 2019  related to the Canada Pension Plan, and since 2021 for Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), as well as our more recent work in regard to other pensions, and also financial institutions.

Check out our previous work, while you wait for the 2025 analysis!

JPA is very fortunate to have several amazing volunteers helping with the analysis, but as you can appreciate this involves major research and analysis given the review of 100+ entities.
