I guess I’m dense. I don’t get the problem. The aircraft looks really good and doesn’t look like it is headed for the aircraft graveyard!!
Canada is in fantastic shape economically. We are awash in oil and gas and other resources. PM Harper is doing an outstanding job of managing the country and its finances. Our biggest problem is getting all that oil out to the market.
The opposition parties are populated by idiots and lunatics. They are: the left, the far left, and the separatists who think they are going to leave Canada, be better off, and get paid to do so. They have absolutely nothing to complain about. So they complain about a fantastic paint job on a plane that will probably be a prototype for every RCAF plane that gets repainted.
That's about it.
