Canadian Ammo Manufacturer Gone..

[servicepub (RIP)]

Now that we have sold GM Defence (also to General Dynamics), Diemaco (manufacturers of our Small Arms) to Colt and SNC-TEC to GD we don't have a lot of industry dedicated to the 'pointy end'.
I am not surprised that GD wanted our ammo manufacrurer as they cannot produce enough for on-going US Ops. I fear, as Alex has hinted, that once GD HQ tells their subsidiary what to do here in Canada DN will find itself sucking hind-teat to get deliveries to meet its operational needs. We already see the US attitiude in London at GDLS where they manufacture the LAV III and the US Stryker (along with Aust, NZ and Saudi versions). In those areas where there is Stryker manufacture, Canadians (including CF Officers) have been told that they do not have clearance and cannot enter.
