The Canadian Auto Workers’ staff made another $15,000 donation to the Rideau Institute’s Ceasefire program.

Annie Labaj, Director of the CAW’s International Department, called attention to the important work that the Rideau Institute and the CAW have conducted together, including assisting in campaigns against the sale of MacDonald Dettwiler (maker of Radarsat and the CANADARM) and against the planned purchase of the Joint Strike Fight in her letter announcing the donation. CAW’s Director of Aerospace, Dawn Cartwright, noted that Steven Staples’ “‘navigation’ of the Hill matches systems on the most advanced of any aircraft.”

The support from the CAW employees will be used to promote Canada as a peace leader in the international community.
