Nazi Canuckistan enforcing it's No Guns For Jews Crime Against Humanity.
This means NO Canadian Arms or Equipment will be shipped to Israel.
Which one of Trudeau’s nutjobs decided this ?
They can’t read either...

Next comes the “find out” part...
Articles like this never mention what’s actually going on. I was involved in numerous Israeli arms deals over my career. The US government, and I’ll bet the Canadian government, give other countries money that can only be spent on arms or services from the country giving the money. Sometimes it’s just a huge discount on the normal price. Irael maintains the capacity to manufacture anything they need. Even if we cut off the purchase of, say aircraft, they can refurbish anything and make it serviceable. (I don’t know if they’re still doing it, but you could buy a fully upgraded F4 with new engines, radar and electrics as late as 2010.)
These sales are intended as a jobs program for local industry so the giving/selling country can maintain its capacity to produce whatever critical items it needs. If nobody is buying, say, small arms or missiles or whatever, then the production line gets shut down and the highly skilled and trained workers go off and open a vape shop. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Reconstituting a production like (as I have done several times) is hugely expensive and fraught with problems.
So, what’s going to happen with the hardware that Israel won’t be getting? The contracts I worked on had the redirected hardware going to whatever branch of the service it was related to. Meaning, it came out of the present working budget of that branch. Somewhere a procurement officer is saying, “Oh, crap! Where am I going to find the money to buy all this stuff we didn’t order and don’t need?”
When it is time to count on friends and allies, you cannot ever count on Canada.
