We seem to have a habit of doing something so late, but not quite late enough to be "too late".

Canada is like that cousin that goes to med school you always get compared to...

Paywalles article, but I would hazard a guess we already don't send arms or munitions and this is likely symbolic to garner votes. We do have a very robust APC, and armored vehicle industry as well as a very robust drone industry and I would guess we'll continue supplying that kind of war equipment because technically it's not arms.

As usual it was the NDP stepping in and putting forth the motion to do so.
EDIT:
I'm 0% shocked the Conservatives didn't vote to stop sending arms to Israel.

Oh wow, just in time, before something terrible happened.
Count on the Liberals to do the right thing, after they tried everything else.

Canada doesn't do anything without asking the US if it's okay, so I see this as a positive sign for potentially larger action

Canada isn’t always the smartest country
