A recent report, co-authored by the Palestinian Youth Movement, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, Arms Embargo Now and World Beyond War, identified hundreds of shipments of Canadian-made F-35 fighter jet components, other aircraft parts, and explosives and flammable materials to U.S. facilities that supply the Israeli military. The report also highlighted 433 shipments of Polish-made TNT routed through the Port Saguenay, Quebec to U.S. army ammunition plants that make bombs used by Israel in Gaza.

The report stated that “by deliberately exempting U.S.-bound arms from export regulation and allowing Canadian infrastructure to transport weapons, Canada is circumventing its obligations under international law.”

The path of not doing anything the US might disagree with just leads to more extortion of Canada anyway. They only path to get concessions from US is to withdraw from acts of sycophancy. Cancel F35s, sell existing ones, charge rent for NORAD occupation, charge aggressively for evil against Venezuela/fishing boats support. Meet escallation with more escallation.

We (our government) need to get over trying to appease Trump.

If we are economically uncoupling from the usa then why would we not just tend to our business? We need to do what we feel is right, not stand by and watch untold atrocities because we don't want to anger our old ally.
