I'm not disagreeing. But in the example with Lockheed Martin, what else can they do? These are Military Supplies, if the Canadian Government intervenes and forces Lockheed Martin to prevent the export of the components, they will be actively aggravating the US, which is not something the Canadian Government appear they'd want to do at this time. (See Doug Ford's Regan Add)
The Canadian Government is in a loose loose situation right now if they act. If we want more immediate results we should be going after these companies who are actively supporting this genocide, while pressuring the Canadian Government to do more.
Make them with failsafes. If found in Israel, self-detonate.
Then Canada has just cause to stop sending materials to the US being proxied for genocide.
Lose-lose may be true, but our government is still choosing one loss over the other. Canada can't control what the US companies do, but Canada is subject to the Arms Trade Treaty, the Genocide Convention, and the Geneva Conventions, all of which would prevent Canada from allowing these exports were they being followed. Canada created a loophole for oversight in domestic law that allows this kind of shipment. It shows the limits of the Canadian government's commitment to international law, because there is a legal basis for stopping them but the government chooses not to on the basis of economic & business interests, then chooses to mislead the public when there is public pressure.
I agree with you on going after the companies domestically and on continuing to pressure the government. It just sucks that this is so predictable from our government.
