NEWS: Renegade teachers’ pension fund in Chilean water

Toronto’s NOW Magazine reports that, “Teachers soaking up the education cliches at that pep rally the other day – the one that took a hit for sucking up scarce board of ed bucks – found themselves targets of a Council of Canadians lobby. Turns out the ethics-challenged Ontario Teachers Pension Plan has investments in three Chilean private water companies, and the Council wants teachers to take a stand on making aqua gratis for all. While they’re doing that, they might also want to make some noise on the fact their fund just bought five and a half million shares of Transocean Ltd – owners of the well that exploded in the Gulf and sent BP oil on a trail of destruction. Who wants to retire on that legacy?”

Now Magazine has more than 370,000 readers.
