I dont know about this, have we consulted Quebec and the NDP?

I mean, fighter jets are very energy intense to construct and they do consume quite a bit of fuel, do we know what their Carbon footprint is?

Does our Liberal PM know about this? Because these things emit a lot of pollution even during easy training exercises.

And if you think about it, 'training' by flying one these things would be like taking a Hummer out on a leisure cruise, you can do it, but is it really necessary?

Do they come with Energy Saver stickers like my washer and dryer?

And even then, how 'green' are these particular fighters when compared with various other aerial combat craft? Are we buying the right kind of war weaponry that really represents us as Canadians and our environmental values?

Are they flexfuel? Can they burn ethanol blended fuel? Is there not a hybrid Fighter Jet? If not should we not become World Leaders in the Hybrid Fighter Jet market? I feel that we as environmentally conscious Canadians should really consider all of the ramifications about the purchase and use of these massive pollutants.
