I figure that hey, if the Americans are going to build this thing and spend a fortune doing it, Canada might as well be getting some of that money and developing some technology. I mean if it's happening either way, might as well get something out of it. Standing on the sidelines isn't going to do anything except make your legs tired.

I say screw that. We should develop our own technology and work closer with Europe.
A little while ago, Canada devloped a new system for obtaining remotely sensed data that can produce images from space with a resolution of 3m^2 pixels, can see below the ocean, and in the dark, and the Americans refused to launch the satellite into space for us because they don't want to have something that good up there without having 100% control over it. So the Euros launched it for us. I say Canada takes the same approach from now on.
