The protesters dispersed several hours ago.
Canada does sell military equipment to Israel but it is really not that much. Canada sold $21 million of Military equipment to Israel in 2022 which is the same amount as Canada sold to Singapore and slightly more than Algeria.
Canada sold Qatar $50 million of equipment, Saudi Arabia with over $1billion , and the UAE at $25 million.
Canada actually imports twice the amount of goods from Israel than Israel does from Canada so Canada disrupting trade with Israel could potentially hurt Canada more than Israel, which is why some sort of boycott of Israel is never going to happen. Very little benefit for Canada to annoy whats been a mutually beneficial trading partner. I believe we import a substantial amount of our medical equipment from Israel amongst a lot of other technology.
