Thanks Jimmy,
If possible please keep me informed of other examples of "trade" between Canada and Israel.

Susan,
You might find it of some interest that on 24 November of last year it
was reported that an Israeli company (Magal Security Systems) was
awarded a US$3.4 million dollar contract to provide security systems
for Correctional Services Canada. The Globes (Israel's version of the
Financial Times or Wall Street Journal) article I found this on stated
that, "CSC is a long-standing Magal customer." These tend to be
high-tech services, not personel training. Still, defense and
security exports make up a huge part of Israel's economy and allow it
to subsidize the settlements and occupation without too much economic
stress on its own populace. Also, being the third largest arms
exporter in the world goes a long ways towards explaining the
diplomatic and economic support Israel gets from a surprising number
of countries (including Muslim countries). If one is interested in
the boycott/divestment/sanctions campaign, maybe that would be a good
place to start, Canadian imports of Israeli security and defense
equipment.
L'Shalom, Jimmy

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
