On Tuesday October 21 more than a hundred people gathered at dawn in London, Ontario, to disrupt one of Canada’s leading military trade shows. Catching the ‘Best Defence Conference’ by surprise, they blockaded entrances, locking out the companies, military, and government reps that have been arming genocide and profiting from war.
The action exposed Canada’s complicity in war crimes at home and abroad, and uplifted the demand for an arms embargo on Israel and an end to Canada’s military expansion. It was covered by major local and national media outlets from CBC, CTV, and the Toronto Star, to London Free Press and the Canadian Press.

No business as usual for genocide profiteers like Elbit, General Dynamics, Calian, Nexeya, and Gastops! No more Canadian arms to Israel! No more fueling war crimes at home or abroad!
