On Nov. 13, at the Axios Future of Defense summit in Washington, D.C., U.S. Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Bill LaPlante told a packed room of private-sector, government and military leaders that the Houthis are “getting scary.” LaPlante, the Pentagon’s chief weapons buyer, was referring to the Houthis’ increasingly sophisticated weapons arsenal — something the group has been using to wreak havoc on the Red Sea for months. Yet, despite the economic, environmental, and humanitarian damage — not to mention the many civilians they’ve killed — the Houthis are still not a listed terrorist entity in Canada. Ottawa should quickly rectify that omission.
