"CANSEC isn’t just a trade show — it’s a symbol of the government’s refusal to act in the face of genocide" We're reporting on the protests to Shut Down CANSEC at the #Ottawa EY Centre on May 28. leveller.ca/2025/05/height… #ottpoli #onpoli #ottnews #onnews #palestine

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds out to shut down CANSEC. We’ve fully blocked the road access and are also disrupting attendees at pedestrian entrances as they try to enter Canada's biggest arms fair early this morning. The companies arming genocide are here but they can’t get in!

HAPPENING NOW: All road access to CANSEC shut down. War criminals like Elbit Systems having to walk long distances on the side of the road to enter their violent weapons fair.

Today protesting CANSEC, I wore my white coat to honour the thousands of health workers targeted by weapons for protecting life. This last year marks the deadliest year on record for health workers. And I wore a bracelet I bought from a Palestinian boy, to honour the resilience

Yesterday we made Palestine and the genocide in Gaza unavoidable in Ottawa, the nation’s capital in Canada. Protestors took over the streets in front of CANSEC, an arms trade show where tech and weapons used to slaughter Palestinians are being bought and sold. The Minister of

šŸ‘ Canada’s hands are not clean. Arms permits. Pension investments. F-35 parts. All quietly fueling Israel’s assault on #Gaza. That’s why Cymry Gomery of WBW Montreal is joining the Global March to Gaza! worldbeyondwar.org/march-to-gaza-…

Brief coverage of the Shut Down CANSEC protest on CBC national news, though the calls to ā€œshut down CANSEC, shut down genocideā€ and the despicable attendance of ā€œcompanies supplying Israel with the military equipment it is using to destroy Gazaā€ comes through loud and clear.

WBW organizer Rachel Small was interviewed for CTV national at the protest blocking the CANSEC arms fair yesterday sharing "a vision of security for Canada that is not based on dropping bombs around the world, that is not based on partnering with Israel as it attacks Palestine.ā€

General Dynamics makes the 155mm caliber artillery shells that are fired on Gaza. Despite the International Court of Justice ruling that it is plausible Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, this shell is on display at CANSEC: pbicanada.org/2025/05/29/gen… #ArmsEmbargoNow

WBW is honoured to join the international delegation that will be converging in Egypt on June 15 to march to the border with Rafah, including our Montreal chapter coordinator Cym. Where states have failed to take action, it is we the people who must lift the siege on Gaza.

We weren't being hyperbolic when we said that the precise weapons Israel is using to massacre Palestinians right now were on display inside CANSEC. These are the artillery shells whose explosive fuel is produced by General Dynamics in Quebec and is still being exported to Israel.
