Canada is among many NATO allies of Ukraine who signed 2010 pact to ban cluster munition use

……….

Canada has considered itself a leader in the international movement to limit the damage that weapons like landmines and cluster munitions can cause to war-torn communities.

The Canadian government helped spearhead a movement that led more than 100 countries to sign the Ottawa Treaty in December 1997, and dozens more joined in the years after.

………..

Meanwhile Canadas best friend is spearheading a movement to keep the factories churning out these monstrous weapons. The Pentagon is out of control.

Edit to add PRESIDENT BIDENS comments ahead of crucial NATO meeting, where Canada will suddenly play a central role in the clusterbomb clusterfuck created by the Pentagon.

The decision drew fierce criticism from Democratic lawmakers due to high civilian death rates.
