CANSEC Arms Fair Opening Night Shut Down

Tuxedoed corporate war profiteers and their government backers were forced
to flee the Ottawa Congress Centre tonight as alarms sounded, fire trucks
were called, and police searched in vain for the nefarious anarchists that
shut down the opening night of CANSEC 2008, Canada's largest arms fair.

Even the multi-million dollar surveillance and security technology on
display, the presence of uniformed police, and the assertion by security
forces that they had been gathering extensive 'intelligence' on CANSEC
resistance could prevent a group of Ottawa anarchists from infiltrating the
event and simply pulling a fire alarm.

CANSEC 2008 is the nation's largest arms fair, and brings together war
profiteers, government representatives, and private buyers to drool over the
latest in military, surveillance, and security technology. CANSEC represents
the reality of Canada's foreign and domestic polices - we are world leaders
in death, mutliation, war and occuption.

This action was taken in response to PGA Bloc Ottawa's call for autonomous
actions to disrupt the arms fair, and in support of the PGA Hallmarks. Plus,
we really, really liked their CANSEC video:

We hope tonight's shut down will merely mark the start of two days of active
resistance to CANSEC 2008.

FROM KANDAHAR TO PALESTINE, OCCUPATION IS A CRIME!
SHUT DOWN THE CANSEC ARMS FAIR!
SHUT DOWN THE WAR MACHINE!
