JG weighing in on the F35 saga.

Canada must settle the F-35 debate before Trump forces the issue: J.L. Granatstein for Inside Policy | Macdonald-Laurier Institute

With the chatter about us going with LM for our new helo's and that cost being around 18b, you'd think that someone would make the effort to bundle all of these LM contracts into 1 super contract and say, Ok we are buying over XX billion from you in the area of fighters, helo's, radar, HIMAR's etc - here's want we want from you in return. Because all of these contracts together are well north of 50 billion, which in either Canada or the US, is a large pile of money.

I had a two week gap between teaching back to back to back DP1 infantry courses and I didn't want to get roped into any BS mickey mouse tasks in the meanwhile. I made sure to walk around with a sense of purpose and a clipboard under my arm. Believe me, people on a base flee from someone with a clipboard.
