The jets are nice and all, but it would be nice to see the PMO try and shut up to let Foreign Affairs get some work done on the Arctic front.
Why would we buy a jet that took its maiden voyage 16 years ago. That means by the time we took possesion of the first jet the design would be 25 years old. Pass. I'm sure the Europeans would be thrilled to contract some of the jet production to Canadian companies. Dream on.
