TIL that Canada sells arms. Or even has any arms industry to speak of
We sold them for decades. We used to sell tanks back in mid-50's and weapons to Israel. Sold APVs to Saudi Arabia years ago. Was a big issue here.
Attended a presentation on this, we sold weapons since WW2. We are just not as crazy about it or as much as say, the USA. No one is.
Hey man, we gave some boats to Ukraine. They just have to supply themselves with the oars. Our military is a joke. The only thing we're good at is raping our troops without consequence.
