Our North - SSE Policy Update Megathread

[Kirkhill]

The bullet points in that article sound more like a sales pitch than actual journalism.

It was authored by Pierre Leblanc, his bio can be found here.

An excerpt from that bio: "Recently, he assisted Raytheon Company to win the contract for the operation and maintenance of the North Warning System consisting of 47 air defence radar sites in the Arctic from the Alaska border to the south tip of Labrador spanning some 4,400 kilometers. He set up a new Raytheon Canada Limited business unit and managed the North Warning System contract for two years from April 1st 2014 to March 2016."

Forgive me if I am a little suspicious when the guy previously payed by Raytheon to do radar stuff says the government should give Raytheon a bunch of money to do radar stuff.

Can I assume you know the players?

No, I just spent some time googling. The way the article was written seemed odd, so I wanted to find out some background on its author.

Maybe this technology is something we should be procuring, I don't know much about sea radars. What I do know, is a clear conflict of interest when I see one.
