Justin Trudeau, Canada's Obama, really sucks.

Liberals would rather buy used military hardware and spend billions fixing them than buying new ones.

Like our diesel submarines that have been docked since buying them from Britain.

There is a reason why countries sell old military equipment.

Ironic quote from another article about the issue -- "ask the Australians" turned into buying old F-18s to take them off the hands of Australia.... I'm sure they were happy to unload their old jets for some money:

"It is time for the RCAF to start transitioning to a next-generation fighter jet. The interim solution of 18 Super Hornets makes both fiscal and operational sense. It was and remains a logical course of action. You can ask the Australians, who have incorporated new Super Hornets into their own fleet with much success. They didn’t buy used aircraft!"

What does it matter, really? Canada’s defense policy is ‘call America.’

Apparently Justine not very good at making deals. Can’t wait to see what he does in the NAFTA renegotiations. Well, at least they have lot of illiterate and unskilled “Immigrants” to suck their taxpayers dry.

So they’re still buying American planes anyway.

Two quick searches confirmed what I thought - the F-18 is a McDonnell Douglas plane and M-D has been owned by Boeing for 20 years. Is there a special kind of logic that only works north of the 49th parallel where buying a used Boeing plane is supposed to piss Boeing off since they’ll be selling parts to them forever? I guess it requires a certain amount of Molson to understand how this is supposed to prove a “point” to Boeing.

I believe our president needs to make life for the woosie boy a little uncomfortable.

According to the LOA, the sales contract, no country may sell US military gear to another country. Prohibited by US law. If a country wants to sell their US military gear (called a third-party transfer), they need US approval.

This sale can’t happen without US government approval.

Liberalism destroys everything it touches.....EVERYTHING, including entire governments and countries.
They are truly the BORG of this century and need to be dealt with as such. They should NEVER EVER be allowed to control, or even near, the levers of govt and political powers. They are literally tools of the devil; they come to steal, kill and destroy. They, islam and the Grim Reaper are brothers in arms.

Why should Canada spend ANY money on National Defense? If I were a Canadian citizen, that would be the last thing I’d want my tax dollars spent on.

I’d vote to corner the Maple Syrup industry and then do what they always do when things hit the fan: 1-888-USA-HELP

Eh?
