    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Or maybe buy from our “friends” that don’t want to screw us. Such as the TA-50. If Lockheed thought it was good enough for USA then it’s good enough for Canada.

    No. As a teenager at that time having no interest in the theatre . My interests then were cars and girls. Now I feel on obligation to find where I can stream the movie.

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    I take it that you haven’t seen Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Probably the funniest movie Will Ferrell / John C Reilly did together. I mentioned Buddha as Buddhism is the largest organized religion in China.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    My point is that most bloggers here expect 12 subs to be a given. The government has not promised 12. 12 is what they are aiming for but in 10 years when a handful are delivered; expect the mood and budget to change.

    It doesn’t start and you have to take the air filter off to spray some flammable substance into the carb and hope not to get burned . Kinda like spraying bbq lighter fluid onto hot coals.
