CANADA: Canada Pension Plan (CPP) invests $1.5 Billion in Companies which Supply Israel's Military, Police and Prisons

"Should the CPP invest in companies that profit from Israel's military occupation, its attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, its destruction of Palestinian homes and orchards, or its construction of the illegal Separation Wall? 

New research by the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT) reveals that in 2011, the CPP had about $1.5 billion worth of shares in 66 large, international companies that supply Israel with military, police, surveillance and/or prison-related products and services.  Five other large Canadian pension funds have invested an additional $3 billion in these 66 companies researched by COAT."
