Few Canadians know much about this country's war profiteers, or the
billions in military technologies that they export to dozens of countries
at war.  Between 2003 and 2006, Canadian war industries exported at
least $7.4 billion in military hardware to 62 countries with
troops fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti and elsewhere.

And, the Canada Pension Plan forces us to invest in many of the world's
largest weapons manufacturers.  Taxpayers are also complicit in the
immoral business of war, because -- for many decades -- Canadian
governments (Liberal and Conservative) have transferred billions in
publicly-funded corporate welfare to this country's most profitable arms
exporters.
 
Learn about Canada's war industries, what they produce, where it is
exported and how the government is aiding and abetting the whole sordid
process. Find out about the government-funded lobby group that represents
700 Canadian war industries and their huge arms bazaar, called CANSEC,
which is returning to Ottawa municipal property, June 2-3, 2010.

"CANSEC: War is Business," is the latest 50-page
issue of Press for Conversion!, a magazine published by the
Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT). 

This new resource -- including all of the articles, photos, graphics,
cartoons, tables and charts focusing on Canada's major role in the
international arms trade -- is NOW ONLINE:

HAITI: Four of COAT's publications focus exclusively on
Canadian complicity (and particularly CIDA's despicable role) in backing
the 2004 coup that overthrew Haiti's elected government and imposed a
brutal dictatorship:
