This video was produced for the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT) which is now engaged in a last-ditch effort to stop the City of Ottawa from allowing any more military trade shows on municipal property.

Made in Canada, eh?

All of the war planes shown in this video contain major components that are made in Canada. Many of the companies contributing to these US weapons systems exhibited at CANSEC 2009, Canada's largest weapons trade show.

Not the CPP!

And, what's more, almost all of these weapons systems are made by prime US war contractors that Canadians are forced to invest their retirement savings in, thanks to our government's Canada Pension Plan!

Colt Canada

The automatic weapons shown in this video are produced and exported by Colt Canada, which also exhibited its products at CANSEC.

War Victims

The victims of war seen in this video live in war zones fueled by Canadian military industries, primarily Afghanistan, Iraq and Gaza.
