Canadian Company Manufactures Bullets for War in Iraq

Canadian Company Manufactures Bullets for War in Iraq
SNC Technologies Inc., based in Le Gardeur, Québec, is under contract to supply the US military with 300 to 500 million bullets per year in a contract that could potentially run for five years. The occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq are of course taking longer than initially expected, and the US manufacturers cannot keep up with the demand for ammunition, so SNC's bullets have become part of Bush's "war on terror."
SNC, according to its website, has annual revenues of CAD$266 million, and it is also the sole military ammunition producer in Canada. SNC supplies the Canadian Department of National Defence with 70% of its ammunition and also sends its products to several companies across Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, Australia, and New Zealand.

At a time of war, Canada's major media institutions have failed to provide the critical and investigative reporting that is a necessary front of defense to the violence of state-driven military power. As state powers in Canada continue to promote and participate in a war of terror that has taken the lives of untold thousands in Afghanistan, critical and independent media such as the Dominion, rooted in principles of social justice, is a necessity in the face of mainstream media complicity in terror. Support the Dominion; stand for social justice and media democracy.

About the Dominion
The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
