At the time, General Motors was saying it was going to cost them too much to have to ship the armoured vehicles to the U.S., where they would then be equipped with automatic weapons before being shipped to Saudi Arabia, Epps explained. The criminal code didn’t allow for the export of automatic weapons.

In a Jan. 10 town hall appearance in Regina, Saskatchewan, Trudeau said his administration was still looking for a way out of the contract, but he emphasized the desire to honour the government’s commitments. He also cited the aim to protect jobs at a General Dynamics factory in Ontario. “When the government changes, Canada as a country of the rule of law needs to respect its contracts,” Trudeau said. “We are looking into the export permits, and we are looking for ways to demonstrate that this is not entirely in keeping with what Canadians want, particularly given recent impacts. But it also is a question of the folks who because of this contract have jobs in London, Ontario — good engineering jobs that they felt were secure, that they were building their families on – and now are possibly in a more challenging position.” As of Jan. 31 General Dynamics had not received hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of payments for the armoured vehicles, something that took a sharp toll on the company’s finances in the most recent quarter.

You can thank Harper for that deal. Which they aren't even paying us for.

On May 20, 2017, U.S. President Trump and Saudi Arabia's Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud signed a series of letters of intent for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to purchase arms from the United States totaling US$110 billion immediately,[1][2] and $350 billion over 10 years.[3][4] The intended purchases include tanks, combat ships, missile defense systems, as well as radar, communications and cybersecurity technology. The transfer was widely seen as a counterbalance against the influence of Iran in the region[5][6] and a "significant" and "historic" expansion of United States relations with Saudi Arabia.[7][8][9][3][10] Tulsi Gabbard—a Democratic Representative from Hawaii—criticized the move, saying that "Saudi Arabia is a country with a devastating record of human rights violations at home and abroad and has a long history of providing support to terrorist organizations that threaten the American people".[33][34] Rand Paulintroduced a bill to try to block the plan calling it a "travesty".[35][36][37] US defense stocks reached all-time highs after the announcement.[38][25][39] Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, is considered the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia and has led many reforms within the country, as well as engendering a number of controversies, including the 2017 arrest of members of the Saudi royal family and the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. Do you really need tanks and missile systems to kill journalists?

I'm sure the 58 killed and 869 injured would disagree. Not to mention their friends and relatives.

The new nafta is being held up because Mexico refuses to upgrade their labour laws.

No, I'm not. Finger does not move. Weapon is essentially a fully automatic when modified. Slightly less rapid and far less accurate, but when you are spraying a crowd there is little difference.

Without a bump stock, the rifle remains stationary, and the trigger finger must be moved to fire each round. With a bump stock, after the trigger is pulled once, the recoil begins moving the trigger against the finger, which remains stationary, resulting in rapid firing like a fully automatic rifle.

After Paddock used a hammer to break two of the windows in both of his suites,[6] he began shooting through them at 10:05 p.m.[29] He ultimately fired more than 1,100 rifle rounds[30] approximately 490 yards (450 m) into the festival audience.[31][32][c] He initially started out with a few single gunshots before firing in prolonged bursts.[6] Many people in the crowd initially mistook the gunfire for fireworks.[33]During the shooting, a security fence hindered concertgoers from fleeing the 15-acre concrete lot.[34] The gunfire continued, with some momentary pauses, over the span of ten minutes and ended by 10:15 p.m 1100 rounds in 10 minutes. And he paused in between. Fifty-eight people were shot to death at the music festival; Paddock's suicide was the only death at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.[49][50][51] The fatalities included 36 women and 22 men.[49] The oldest was 67; the youngest was 20.[52] Six were from Nevada, 35 from California, 13 from other states, and four from Canada.[53] The Clark County Coroner's Office determined that all 58 victims died as a result of gunshot wounds.[54] Thirty-one of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while the rest were pronounced dead at hospitals.[13]

The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that provinces receive their power and authority from the Constitution Act, 1867(formerly called the British North America Act, 1867), whereas territorial governments have powers delegated to them by the Parliament of Canada. The powers flowing from the Constitution Act are divided between the Government of Canada (the federal government) and the provincial governments to exercise exclusively. A change to the division of powers between the federal government and the provinces requires a constitutional amendment, whereas a similar change affecting the territories can be performed unilaterally by the Parliament of Canada or government. Once the procedure for the adoption of the amendment is followed successfully, the amendment is formalized as a proclamation of the Governor General in Council. Officially, therefore, the Constitution is amended by Proclamation, and the issue of the Proclamation requires prior approval by resolutions of the House of Commons, the Senate, and the necessary number of provincial legislative assemblies. The following matters are reserved to the s. 38 procedure, by virtue of s. 42:

Tell that to Stephen Paddock.

https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/bump-stocks The Final Rule The rule will go into effect March 26, 2019; 90 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register. The final rule clarifies that the definition of “machinegun” in the Gun Control Act (GCA) and National Firearms Act (NFA) includes bump-stock-type devices, i.e., devices that allow a semiautomatic firearm to shoot more than one shot with a single pull of the trigger by harnessing the recoil energy of the semiautomatic firearm to which it is affixed so that the trigger resets and continues firing without additional physical manipulation of the trigger by the shooter. try and join the rest of the world in this thing they call "reading".

Also, at a rate of 400 rounds per minute =6.6667 bullets per second. At 800 rounds =13.3333.

So in other words you pull the trigger once and hold it, firing of 800 rounds in one minute. Yeah. I know nothing.

They can achieve rates of fire between 400 and 800 rounds per minute depending on the gun. The M16 uses the 5.56mm NATO (.223) caliber cartridge, with a muzzle velocity (the speed of bullet leaving the rifle) of over 900 meters per second (over 3,000 feet per second), and has a maximum effective range of 550 meters, with a rate of fire (how fast the gun shoots) of approximately 800 rounds per minute. The AK-47 is a 7.62mm gas operated rotating bolt selective fire assault rifle. It is capable of a cyclical rate of fire up to 600 rounds per minute and is usually fed by detachable 30-round magazines or 20- and 40-round box magazines. see the Las Vegas mass shooting incident.

That's not what set them off. Throwing allies under a bus is americas classic move, and they got burnt for it that time. That's what lead to the invasion of Afghanistan, because they refused to give up Bin Laden. Isnt this stuff common knowledge?

That's not how it works. Heed your own advice. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_stock

Done on Canada day.

A guy worked to change the rules and gave a famous speech that he "had a dream". They killed him for it. Sure things are different nowadays, for certain colours.

Seems you are more of the literal type and are unable to read between the lines.

While most of the bin Laden family were astute and successful businessmen, Osama’s talents were seemingly more hands-on and best applied “in the field.” During the 1980s, Osama led militia groups against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. His group was essentially armed, trained, and backed by the CIA. Once that conflict was over is where things begin to get murky. Many conspiracy theorists contend that Osama bin Laden maintained his links to the CIA, although in a more covert way. It should be noted there is no absolute proof of this, with many of the people making these claims using past CIA actions to back up their current theories. Officially, Osama bin Laden believed the US influence in the Middle East was too great, and he eventually left his native country and began on the road that would ultimately lead to the 9/11 attacks. This type of action in intelligence circles is called “blowback.” Perhaps the fact that such actions are common enough for intelligence agencies to have a name for them should be telling in itself.

Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan. But for your types they have to specifically state everything I guess.

From your link: The decision sets an unfortunate precedent. Google and other large U.S. social media companies operate global platforms. While their operations are global, they often seek, as in this case, to have only the laws of the U.S. apply to their businesses.[8] They want all the benefits of carrying on business in Canada and around the world, but want to insulate themselves from liability under local laws. This is especially problematic given the increasing dominance and global reach of these large enterprises in the face of the expanding attempts of local courts and local laws to impose responsibilities on these social media giants to protect their citizens. This is something that Canada should seek to address in the new NAFTA chapter on e-commerce. So can I come into the u.s. and choose not to follow its laws?

Indeed we did. The Supreme Court of Canada upheld a worldwide removal order requiring Google to de-index websites from its search engine that infringed on the plaintiffs’ trademark (see Content Removal). The government took steps to address some of the most controversial aspects of the 2015 Anti-Terrorism Act and improve oversight of intelligence activities by introducing Bill C-59 (see Surveillance, Privacy, and Anonymity).
