1/5 Latest by Chris Hedges: "@NATO and the arms industry that depends on it for billions in profits, has become the most aggressive & dangerous military alliance on the planet." He's right, but what does #Canada 🇨🇦 think of #NATO & arms dealers? 🧵

2/5 For #Canada, "@NATO is the cornerstone of Canadian security and defence policy." It's the basis of not only Canadian defence policy but also our foreign policy: bit.ly/2KMm1CX ⬇️ Yet as Hedges writes, #NATO is a "global war machine". 🇨🇦 is part of this war machine.

3/5 Hedges notes, "Billions of dollars in weapons are pouring into the region." Yes they are... from 🇨🇦. Last Friday, #Canada's Defence Minister was at the @GeneralDynamics plant in #London #Ontario announcing more tanks & military 'aid' for #Ukraine, #NATO's proxy war.⬇️

4/5 Hedges explains "The conflict in Ukraine has been a bonanza for the arms industry." Profits up. @GeneralDyanmics is making a killing from selling its made-in-🇨🇦tanks to #Ukraine #SaudiArabia etc. Bonus #Canadian taxpayer-funded @CanComCorp helps these arms dealers export.⬇️

5/5 Hedges explains precisely why we are calling for #Canada to withdraw from #NATO and the alliance to be abolished. Stop the Weapons, Stop the War, #StopNATO. Join us: peaceandjusticenetwork.ca/stopnato/ @WBWCanada #CanadaOutofNATO #Peace
