First of all, it's the principle of not participating in a literal fucking genocide. Second, Americans can do what they want to do without Canada continuing to send weapons to them to commit atrocities. Seems like a really low bar for anybody with even a shred of moral integrity.

It's the principle? So we just pretend, and our conscience is clear

We just pretend what? Seems to me that the argument you're trying to make here is if we don't facilitate the genocide, then somebody else will.

The No More Loopholes Act was a 'just pretend' act to make it look like some MPs were doing something about it, Why? For the 'principal'? The optics? So their conscience could be clear? 'Well, we tried'. The Act was toothless, there was no way the US government would have paid it any heed. They commenced the Iranian bombing action without even warning Canadian soldiers on the US bases so they could evacuate ahead of time. Just went ahead and left our soldiers in danger. You think they would ever be choosy about the ammunition they used?
