American engineer Paul Cottle left the United States to move to Canada several years ago because he could not reconcile his tax dollars going to pay for the development of weapons such as bombs and land mines.
Last week, Cottle quit a job he loved in British Columbia when U.S. arms maker Alliant Techsystems proposed buying part of the Canadian company that produces Radarsat satellite technology and the remote-controlled Canadarm, which is used on space shuttles.

it's good to see that there's still some people with good ethics out there. Good for him!
But seriously, that's kind of scary that we sold our canadarm, to an arms maker non-the-less! What the heck? What's next? I thought Canadians were very proud of the Canadarm. I guess it's true, money will buy you anything these days.
