With the Canada Pension Plan’s biannual public meetings
under way this week, people from across Colorado have put together a
series of video messages asking Canadian pension holders to stop funding
fossil fuel companies—particularly Denver-based Crestone Peak Resources, a company 95% owned by the CPP.

“Whether you know it or not, you’re one of 20 million
Canadian workers and retirees that benefit from the Canadian Pension
Plan,” says one unidentified Coloradan, one of several who rotate
through the narration on the five-minute video
produced by 350 Colorado and Fossil Free PERA. “Unfortunately, your
pension savings are being invested in ways that pollute our air, our
water, harm the health of our children, and even influence our elections
to benefit the oil industry.”
