Home โ The European Conservative [Unofficial]Czech-Led Ukraine Ammunition Scheme Loses Half Its Backers
MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History May 19, 1950: 31 dockworkers died and 350 were injured when four barges carrying 420 tons of ammunition blew up at South Amboy, New Jersey. The blast destroyed nearby businesses and homes and caused $10 million in property damage. The men were loading anti-tank and anti-personnel mines destined for Pakistan and Afghanistan. Three years later, they unearthed sixty-two live mines scattered throughout the waterfront area. Kilgore Manufacturing Company was later charged with 9,000 counts of munitions violations. The indictment documents weighed thirty pounds. The Coast Guard was also cited with negligence in supervising the loading.

This isnโt abstract.
The U.S. defence industry has long counted on Canada as a reliable, high-value customer.
Now, that integrated North American defence-industrial base is fracturing.
American workers in aerospace, shipyards, and munitions lose out, while Canadian (and European) firms gain. ๐บ๐ธโก๏ธ๐จ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ

The old days?
Canada sent 70โ75% of its military hardware dollars straight to U.S. suppliers, thanks to NORAD, DPSA, and decades of integration.
That meant billions flowing each year to American aerospace, shipbuilding, munitions, and tech firms. ๐จ๐ฆ๐ค๐บ๐ธ๐ธ๐ฉ๏ธ๐ขโ๏ธ
