Canada may need jets in the future but we don't need F-35's and we don't need to spend $30 b and counting on them either.
How can Canada be penalized for braking a contract when there isn't one in place.
It is a question of spending $30 billions of our tax dollars that could be used for important things like Health-care and education.
This is not buying camouflage or armed personnel vehicles and it is ludicrous to compare it. Not even Harper would try that one.
This is the larges military procurement in Canadian history and it is for "eye watering technology" that Canada simply does not need.
These are strike force, stealth super-jets.
What in the world does Canada need strike force stealth super- jets for.
Just who are we planing to go to war with
What purpose does the military have that they are not revealing
They won't even reveal the Statement of Operational Requirements they say justifies this mega-spending
