Yeah, I was watching a CBC documentary on what's happening with that fighter, and it's production schedule just keeps getting postponed and the estimated price on each one keeps going up.

Canada's role in the UN has traditionally been as peace keepers, and for that we need big heavy slow cargo airplanes to get our troops and equipment to the 4 corners of the Earth, not supersonic stealth fighters.

And, the kinds of war we're engaged in has changed. What good does a supersonic stealth fighter do if your enemy is fighting a guerilla war by planting IEDs in the roads and stealing hostages.

I think the NEXT generation of fighter isn't going to be supersonic OR stealth. It's going to be an unmanned drone because those can be used for war, search and rescue and border security and lots of different uses like that. Maybe we should be buying unmanned drones instead.
