Ret. Maj.Gen. Lewis MacKenzie: Avro Arrow considered as F-35 alternative, more effective and much cheaper

Why Harper and company are determined to buy F-35?

  "It's an attack aircraft. It's designed for attacking ground targets and its stealth is most effective against short range radar, protecting ground targets," MacKenzie said.

"What we need in Canada is something that can go to the edge of our airspace, from a sovereignty point of view, and be able to catch up with intruders." According to Mackenzie. Power and Politics, CBC.

F-35: Harper government lied about its cost stealthily

Harper and minions were hoping no one will catch on to their lies. Too bad for them because stealth lies about the cost of the F—35 Jet turned out to be not so stealth after all and truth started showing bit by bit on the public radar. Kevin Page, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, appeared on Evan Solomon’s show, Power and Politics, and revealed some interesting information about the costs and the games which were played to mislead the public. There were two sets of costs, one which Harper cabinet knew and another set of costs which were for public consumption. Watch the video below of the interview:

Peter MacKay: F-35 Purchase Fiasco

Rex Murphy once in a while gives great commentary. This is one of those commentaries. Peter Mackay an Honoury Defence Minister or not so honoury.



"Is anyone in charge? Or is Peter MacKay a kind of honorary Defence Minister?" Murphy asks. "A real minister would resign after this week's sad comedy."

Peter MacKay is on a jet

It is only taxpayers’ money – the suckers. A billion here and a billion there what is the big deal. $1.2 billion for G8 and G20 and now $9 billion for F-35. Just buy those damn jets. No bidding or competition needed. It is just the taxpayers’ money – the suckers.
Peter MacKay says we must support the soldiers. Yeah! Peter it is not your butt which is in the harm’s way. Why not support the soldiers and bring them home. Why are we getting them killed in Afghanistan? And those who survive have battle scars and PTSD. The suicide rate amongst the soldiers is very high. 32 US soldiers committed suicide in June alone. I believe that is more than killed in the war theatre in the month of June. So Peter Mackay you are trying to fool the public as usual.
