For a big ol' fatty, the Sea King is a sharp looking aircraft.

It gets even more maddening when you realize that we already have about a dozen of the Cormorants that the Coast Gyard uses for search and rescue. That's right, the same "Cadillac" helicopters that King Jean insists are too elaborate for the military per his original campaign pledge and susequent cancellation. So, what's necessary for the CG is not necessary for the military, and Canada blew $500 million to cancel the military contract. If we go with the substandard French choppers, not only will we have a second rate military chopper but we'll lose the economies of scale inherent in maintaining a single model for both fleets. Just so Chretien can avoid looking like he's flip flopping.
It will take us years if not decades to undo the damage this Liberal idiot has inflicted on this country, if ever. Stupid b*stard Chretien. I hate him.

You'd think after Pratt Canada just got SCREWED on the $4 Billion (A couple trillion Can dollars) A400M contract by the French, they'd tell the surrender monkeys to pound sand.
WAKE UP CANADIANS,EH!
