Canada's
Military Exports
to the United States
2003 2004 2005

Total

$1.355 billion

$1.509 billion

$1.137 billion

 $4.001 billion

The data on recipients of Canadian military equipment listed above (other than the data on exports to the US) was provided by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). DFAIT has never provided any information on military exports to the US in its reports on Canada's military exports. Read more about DFAIT's flawed report here.

This table is connected to a report of the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT) called "Canadian Military Exports to Countries at War, 2003-2005."

This COAT report  was created in support of the campaign to Oppose CANSEC 2009 in Ottawa!
