Over the weekend in Hochelaga, a company van belonging to ARA Robotique was burned.
ARA’s drones are equipped with advanced sensors and AI for real-time data analysis. Last year, the Quebec government awarded ARA and Laflamme Aero a subsidy of $8.8 million. These two companies produce drones and remotely controlled helicopters designed to enhance border surveillance.
The Quebec subsidy aligns with pending federal legislation aimed at intensifying Canadian border monitoring, as well as calls from the Trump administration for Canada to strengthen its border security.
With ongoing ICE raids in the U.S. and the expansion of rapid-response networks to protect those targeted by ICE, it is time to target companies and individuals who actively develop technologies designed to control people’s movements across borders.
