Thank you everyone who came to the anti-militarization event last night! See you all on the 31st to #ShutDownCANSEC
Love to see this coverage in the local paper of our incredible chapter members who drove all the way from Collingwood to our #ShutDownCANSEC protest in Ottawa! collingwoodtoday.ca/local-news/jus…
SAVE THE DATE: Join us at #CANSEC2024 to confront the companies and people profiting most from war & bloodshed—including the makers of all of the major weapons systems decimating Gaza right now—along with reps from militaries & govt procurement on every continent. #ShutDownCANSEC
These are the same kind of responses the action to #ShutDownCANSEC got in April when Lockheed Martin was in Ottawa showcasing their weaponry along with other warmongers. No consideration for the protestors who were getting harassed by the police either by people online.
There was a massive protest in Ottawa/Algonquin territory today demanding a #CeasefireNow and an #ArmsEmbargo . On this 155th day of Israel's assault on Gaza 30,960 Palestinians have been killed and 72,524 wounded. There is also a growing movement to #ShutdownCANSEC on May 29-30.
👏 Powerful protest at #CANSEC today! Over a hundred people disrupted the opening of North America’s largest #military weapons convention. Amid the Ukraine refugee crisis & Yemen's devastating war, #weapons companies rake in record profits! worldbeyondwar.org/protest-disrup… #ShutDownCANSEC
The Chilean government has barred Israeli weapons companies, including Elbit Systems, from the FIDAE arms show in Santiago this April. Elbit is still listed as an exhibitor at the CANSEC arms show in Ottawa this May 29-30. More context at: pbicanada.org/2024/03/09/elb… #ShutDownCANSEC
The Women in Defence & Security (WiDS) Annual Awards Breakfast, sponsored by Lockheed Martin, Boeing, BAE Systems, L3Harris and other weapons companies, was challenged in Ottawa this morning with continued calls of #CeasefireNow #StopArmingGenocide #ShutDownCANSEC (on May 29-30).
Arms dealers are not welcome in #Canada !
This week, WBW and peace activists were out in #Victoria to support demonstrations in #Ottawa and locally demonstrate their opposition to the #CANSEC2023 weapons fair! buff.ly/3N4gZ2S #ShutDownCANSEC
Powerful article unpacking the Canadian arms trade and the country’s rampant and ballooning militarism, through the #Cansec2023 arms show and our #ShutDownCANSEC mobilization to disrupt it!
Question: What possible motivation is there to chose to work for a company whose '...technology is explicitly marketed for its lethality'?
