It's better to just sell it and not replenish the stock than to dispose of it all at a massive loss. The US sellers won't get more money either way, but this way some losses can be avoided on the Canadian side.

Well that's rather concerning about the future rule of law, and the ability of the FBI to conduct investigations without political interference...

They'd be able to help secure Europe, could get some sales to EU countries and such, but I see this as a project that would deal directly with established armies (and countries' defence budgets) rather than going through the EU.

While that's fine for a situation in which an European army existed, Orban would almost certainly veto such a proposal. In fact, he'd probably veto the EU spending a substantial amount together and call the EU warmongers. The solution is to have countries act independently on paper (with leadership coordinating) so that the EU doesn't have to get involved in such a way that vetoes can block progress. That's just the state of affairs at the moment.
