Canada is buying 88 #F35 stealth fighters designed for first strike attacks & are now certified to carry B61-12 tactical nuclear bombs. This procurement violates 🇨🇦's commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty & should be cancelled. No Fighter Jets Coalition Lindsay Mathyssen Elizabeth May

The Parliamentary Budget Officer estimates the 'life cycle' cost of Canada's new fleet of F-35 warplanes to be $73.9 billion, including about $11.3 billion for weapons, munitions and other 'operations costs'. Key excerpts from this report: pbicanada.org/2023/11/03/par… #DefundWarplanes

The (illegal) lack of transparency and secrecy by the Canadian Forces and National Defence is a big part of why our work to hold them accountable – or even find out what they're doing and planning – is so difficult. And that is precisely the point. ottawacitizen.com/news/national/…

“National Defence claimed not a single document or any information whatsoever was sent to then Defence Minister Anita Anand throughout the four-month period covering the selection and announcement of the F-35 fighter jet in a $19-billion procurement deal.” #NoNewFighterJets

DND increasingly claims records requested by public don’t exist, but critics have their doubts ottawacitizen.com/news/national/… via @ottawacitizen

How fitting! Former 🇫🇮 Prime Minister Sanna Marin who bought #F35 warplanes & undemocratically brought #Finland into the US-led NATO war machine is joining war criminal #TonyBlair 's Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. tinyurl.com/yfptbssu No #GlobalProgress23 .

'The media was responsible for helping create an environment where people begged for war, racist laws and attacks on civil liberties.' And this is still deeply true today. Fear continues to be warped into weapons contracts, state surveillance, hate & war in the blink of an eye.

Happy to share that there's another Cones Not Drones ice cream stand coming up this week for lucky folks in Hamilton! Come out this Thursday, #InternationalPeaceDay , for free ice cream and a chance to take anti-war action. #NoArmedDrones #PeaceDay #InternationalDayOfPeace

Bravo to our allies throwing down hard this week at the DSEI weapons bonanza. We need to both end war and end the landslide profits made off of perpetuating the violence. #StopDSEI commondreams.org/news/dsei-2023…

As #TorontoAirShow is underway & people are cheering Royal Canadian Air Force CF18 fighters flying overhead, this is a reminder that since 2011, these 🇨🇦 warplanes bombed #Libya #Iraq #Syria killing civilians & destroying infrastructure. #CancelTheAirShow #CIAS2023

Workers are unstoppable, another world is possible! We’re marching for a #WorldBeyondWar this #LaborDay !

We’re at University and Queen getting ready to march - join us! We’re coming together as workers united against war and we’re calling out the #TorontoAirshow while we march right to it. #LaborDay

This is paid advertising for Lockheed Martin, and one way they’ve been trying to sell the Canadian public on their fighter jet — the F35 that Canada is planning to purchase. The F35s flying are by far the most deafening part of the air show. Time to cancel the F35 & the air show!

🚨We'll be marching with a CANCEL THE AIR SHOW banner at the big Labour Day March during the #TorontoAirShow (and leading right to it at the CNE) on Monday. Join us!
Meetup: 9am, Queen & University, Monday Sept 4.
And keep emailing your councilor here: worldbeyondwar.org/torontoairshow/

We’ve made it really easy to email Olivia Chow and your city councillor calling for the #Torontoairshow to be canceled right here: Worldbeyondwar.org/torontoairshow
