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

    Or people get too wrapped up in the idea of a plane being built here that they miss the forest for the trees, namely that a limited run of final assembly doesn't give us a domestic industry. No, we're continually stuck with old equipment because we don't replace it in time, and almost always...

Anyone buying any at this point is buying used (which is the point of the Gripen, it's an alternative to the F-16 for countries that...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Since it's a non-combatant support vessel, would it be possible to integrate coast guard into the crew? Rescuing vessels is what the coast guard does.
