Probably not, because nobody is going to invade Canada. If Canada enters a combat engagement, it's most likely going to be a limited air campaign. Similar to Israel's engagement with Iran where they used the F-35 to knock out radar and put Iran in the blind and then hammered with non-stealth jets.

Another thing in line with this type of export control is how Biden paused shipments of weapons to Israel. Israel was using US made bombs without guidance kits, so they were "dumb bombs". We can't tell an ally to not bomb, but we can enforce the use of guidance kits to mitigate unnecessary death.
Why the US paused the delivery of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel ahead of a possible Rafah attack
The U.S. paused a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel over concerns that the country has not adequately taken civilian safety into account in its upcoming military operation in Rafah.

Meanwhile, his cousin wrote a truly beautiful essay about dying of leukemia in the New Yorker, while Bobby Jr. is trying to decimate cancer research. Somebody is working awfully hard to get us to notice the dissonance between these two things.

A different take, but not mutually exclusive. Weiss focuses on the likelihood this scheme was developed by a Trump faction in isolation of the normal apparatus of government. As @noelreports.com reminds us, Witkoff has worked with this Kremlin-friendly mindset for a while:

May I remind everyone: on February 23, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff called the 2022 Istanbul draft a “guidepost” for future Ukraine-Russia talks.
This man is dangerously aligned with Russian interests, and holds far too much sway in what's being called a ‘peace process.’
This is extortion.

“He must have got this from K.”: How a Russian operative used the American media to bring a risible “peace deal” into existence
Rhetoric around Russia’s war in Ukraine has once again shifted to discussions about a potential “diplomatic solution.” However, the “deal” on the table — a 28-point plan that contains many of Moscow’s...

as Phillips O'Brien also points out, this plan has been in negotiation for a long time, probably since Trump took office.

That would explain why when Trump figured it out he called Leonard Leo a “sleazebag.”

Remember that before the list there was war between House of Koch and House of Trump. After the list there was peace.
Do the math.
The most logical conclusion is a deal where Kochs got to pick Trump’s nominees, using Federalist Society as camouflage for a transaction.
