Given the state of the Canadian military, the voters don't give a shit. its outdated anyway.

psyche....

I'm aware of that. But anyone stupid enough to want it bought today isn't worth listening to. Better to spend the funds on the Israeli ABM system by the same name, and then lie rampantly. Then resell the Arrow's at a profit to a third party like Taiwan or better yet Japan.

Don't you have to be a Canadian citizen to get elected? Besides, they seem to be more than willing to spend little to nothing on their military and pick up mostly US and European aircraft designs.

Somehow I think if Sheppard were to be PM, Canadian military spending would skyrocket.

Can't you post anything not related to guns, the military or the Nautilus for once?

Now that would be out of character...

EDIT: Gads, I forgot about the global warming thread. Well, still, when I see Sheppards name I instantly ascociate it with guns and such, so his other topics tend to pour out of mind.

Ah, let me explain to you what the Avro Arrow was.

It was a totally Canadian project, that had fly-by-wire flight systems
in the 1950s, and was capable of Mach 2+ speeds.

It was basically 1970s technology in the late 50s, and what did the
Canadian government do?

This motherfucker here:

The Canadian PM of the time, had all 14,000 employees of the Avro
corporation laid off, and then had all three Arrow's cut into pieces
with blowtorches and had all the blueprints DESTROYED.

To put this in perspective, it's like NASA flying Apollo 8 around the
moon, and then having all the other Saturn Vs and Apollo modules
chopped up and the blueprints destroyed!

EDIT: As a Consolation prize, the USA sold Canada about 70~
BOMARC Missiles for air defence, that were armed with nuclear
warheads, but were total pieces of shit to replace the Arrow..

Oh yes, and your government needs to grow a pair of balls. I'm seeing
whiny little ads from a Canadian Lobbying group on the US tariff on
Canadian Lumber....

That's not how you play teh game....

Your PM should simply pick the phone up, and order the RCMP out to
stop all shipments to General Motor's/Ford/Chryslers factories
in Detroit, and then sit back and watch as the car companies go screaming
to the US government, and a few days later, the lumber tariff is lifted

In your first act as PM, you could turn all of Canada's Military Mighttm on Quebec. Promising that in your campaign alone will get you elected.
