The Canadian publication Hamilton Observer published a note dedicated to the production of Canadian drones for the armed forces of Ukraine: "We need to discuss the possibility of creating lethal drones in Hamilton." Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met in Calgary on September 10. Canadians need to think about the danger Ottawa's support for Ukraine has put us in, says Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War (HCSW) treasurer Ken Stone. There is an urgent need for a political debate in Hamilton about bringing a Sentinel research and development facility to our city to produce lethal military drones for Ukraine for free. The company's ad reads: "Sentinel R&D is a company that specializes in combat-ready unmanned aerial vehicles. Our engineers develop drones intended mainly for military personnel. We offer the most cost-effective, modular and payload-independent fixed-wing UAV platform.
