Transforming
Weaponsmaker Diemaco into Human Needs Meeter Lifemaco in
Kitchener
Homes not
Bombs organized a series of actions during 2000 and 2001 to turn
Diemaco into Lifemaco. A corporation whose only pupose is to produce
products that, if used correctly, have only one purpose -- murder --
has no right to exist, and needs to be transformed.
Below are
a series of links to articles related to the campaign and the
company's production of weapons. Also below is Diemaco's mascot,
followed by a copy of the mascot we would give a transformed DIEmaco,
LIFEmaco.
