Canada puts tender notice out for it's new Navy ships...

[Rich46yo]

Canada's got about 110 firms involved in F35 systems production generating about 1 B (can)$ and thousands of Jobs. And as the program as more partners place more orders that will only grow. Now that fact alone I bet makes that Canadian Govt. rather fond of the F35 .

[morfiend]

Yes and we have paid billions for those jobs!

  Unfortunately our PM has all but canceled the F35,we dont need or want it!

   The previous Government was all up in the F35 but we have a new crew running the country and they dont think it's needed.  Personally I agree with the new crew and we would be better served with some more CF18's and maybe a couple of Rinos.

I'm more partial to the Iver Huitfieldt - proven design.

Awesome ship!

Yeah, but aren't you guys like at war with Denmark? Would be strange if you both showed up to exchange liquor in the same kind of boat...

You have 3 posts... 3!  1/3 of your entire time on the BBS has been to complain about my shoutout?  ... Wow.  With 3 posts, you must have been in every Avro Arrow discussion there's ever been! As a Canadian, I'm truly sorry to hear that you and your brethren have to withstand the onslaught that is Maple Syrup-dom raining on your parade by relating to the discussion at hand. (ie Avro Arrow)...   

Ignorant. . . Like if I were to say forget the Alamo, sheesh, get over it already. That would be ignorant.

Geebuz, its like Godwin's law but for Canucks - call it the Arrow Law -

Is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion about the Canadian military grows longer, the probability of a the loss of the Avro Arrow that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will mention the lost of the Arrow aircraft".

Have you ever met the Canadian Army?  It's like the American Army showed up with all the same gear, the soldiers say "Eh" a lot, talk more about pancakes with maple syrup, their mess has strong beer, and their drill movements look like the British.

We're always picking up the best equipment from our friends.

Their hockey team is a lot better too...
