They are making an effort to upgrade... the military bought a crapload of tanks a few years ago, which are currently being made.
However, I agree with you completely that more is needed... especially the Snowbirds!

Those tanks, also called the Mobile Gun System are quietly being canceled as there is no world wide market for a concept as flawed as these are.
The Snowbird AirFrames are almost 30 years old and becoming as dangerous as the CF-18 from a wear point of view.
Lets hope that the powers that be can actually start showing brains and common sense when it comes to doing a proper job of re-equiping the forces. And hopefully favoritism and neopotism isn't used as a deciding factor in purchasing equipment this time.
What am I talking about, its the Liberals.
