Whether or not Canada has an arms industry is irrelevant to the question of whether or not it's unethical to build weapons.
Having an ethical obligation and acting on it are two different things. People can argue about the philosophy around the ethics of creating weapons. It could be argued that every engineer working on creating weapons is violating the ethical requirements of being an engineer.
