That's true. I hate seeing our budgets spent unwisely but as in ethics, we need to always appear to be doing the right thing. It all has to pass the Globe & Mail test.

I haven't a clue what would be a reasonable cost. Leasing them sounds like something we could justify to the Canadian people so long as it won't cost us a fortune to upgrade (if required).

Well, we operated on the West Coast without tankers before. It just means we need to rely more on our allies... USN. I've been stranded in foreign ports before. There are far worse paces to be stuck than Pearl. I wonder how long it'll take and cost to repair her.

Very nice. Let's hope nothing goes wrong.

And the ward for the most evil post goes too......

Okay... your check is in the mail. Feel better now? >:D

Maybe we should start a pool.  :whistle:

Petawawa told their people to expect 45 to 50 % withheld to prevent people having to owe come tax time.
