On October 1st, a Saudi cargo ship is due to dock in Port Saint John, New Brunswick.
Weapons of war--Made-in-Canada light armoured vehicles (LAVs)--will be loaded onto the ship and transported to Saudi Arabia as part of Canada’s $15b arms deal with the Kingdom. #canlab
Originally signed by the Conservative government of Stephen Harper, the deal has been upheld by @liberal_party government of @JustinTrudeau.
Saudi Arabia has committed war crimes in Yemen and has contributed to what the UN has called the “world's worst humanitarian crisis”.
