Profiting from the Slaughter
of Innocents in Iraq:
An Exposé of Canadian War Industries aiding & abetting production of major US Weapons Systems in the Iraq War

To access COAT's detailed data tables, click on the names or images of the major weapons systems below. Click here for a table summarizing some of the key data found in the data tables of this report.

The three dozen data tables in this exposé also reveal corporate links to the so-called Canadian Association of Defense and Security Industries (CADSI). This federal government-funded lobby group is the organizer of CANSEC -- Canada's largest military export bazaar. CADSI's upcoming CANSEC 2009 trade show will be hosted at the City of Ottawa's Lansdowne Park, May 27-28, 2009. This directly contravenes the City's 1989 motion banning all arms exhibitions from municipal facilities. This ban resulted from COAT's first campaign, exactly 20 years ago.

Among the military companies belonging to CADSI, is Ottawa Mayor Larry O'Brien's Calian Technologies. SED Systems, a wholly-owned division of Calian, will again exhibit its wares at the CANSEC war show this May. SED's "Manportable Surveillance & Target Acquisition Radar" has been used in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans.  Read three recent Citizen articles on CANSEC and the Mayor's clear conflict of interest in promoting this weapons exhibition. Calian products are embedded in the following war planes used in the Iraq War that are detailed in this COAT report:
C-130 "Hercules"  F-117 "Night Hawk"   RQ-4 "Global Hawk"  U-2 "Dragon Lady"  F/A-18 "Hornet"
(Calian products are also employed in the MQ-8B "Fire Scout," a killer aerial robot drone equipped with laser-guided missiles, that is slated for deployment in Iraq.)

Most Canadians strongly oppose the Iraq war and would be shocked to learn that so many companies in this country have aiding and abetting the illegal invasion and occupation that has slaughtered so many innocent civilians. Some 1.3 million Iraqis have been killed so far as a direct result of the war since the "shock and awe" aerial bombardments began six years ago this month. The Canadian government has also strongly supported the Iraq War in dozens of other significant ways besides allowing, and often financing, Canadian military exports to supply America's major weapons systems.
