U.S. Embassy Plans Arms Bazaar in Ottawa
anon, 23.07.2008 - 09:37U.S. Embassy plans Arms Bazaar in Ottawa (Sep30-Oct1) despite 1989 ban!
The U.S. Embassy has scheduled a huge arms bazaar at Lansdowne Park this fall, despite an Ottawa City Council Motion of 1989 that banned all future military trade shows from municipal property. If it goes ahead, the "U.S. Embassy Defense & Security Exhibition" (Sept. 30 - Oct.1) will be the first weapons expo on Ottawa City property since May 23-25, 1989, when ARMX—Canada's largest military exposition of that time—filled Ottawa's Lansdowne Park.
