It is unclear exactly how much production occurs at the U.S. plant, there is a loophole that by performing final assembly there, they can consider it "American" even with a significant degree of the work done in Canada. In any case, Canadian companies are profiting off this, and that is news enough.
Powerful reporting. The detail about Roshel's Senator ERV specs being rated for .50 cal resistance exposes just how militarized this operation is. Been following arms export loopholes for a while, and the US exemption on teh Export Control List basically creates an accountability vaccuum. Ford's "fantastic" comment while ICE deploys this equipment against civilians really captures Canada's complicity problem.
Yes, to add context for those less versed in these terms, it's a very powerful bullet fired from a special "anti-materiel" rifle, named as such for targeting equipment rather than infantry. Resistance to that kind of arms fire makes it very resilient against exterior assault, certainly beyond the capabilities of arms possessed by civilians.

A C C O U N T A B I L I T Y!!!!
This post, I’ve read so many over the months since I’ve been on Substack, is the post that grabbed me by my heart and pulled.
I, too, am getting tired.
Thank you for the information.
I shall focus on tomorrow and what I can do with what I’ve learned.
Remember it’s not the gun that kills people, it’s the person behind the gun that does it.
