fearing another repeat of the Avro Arrow fiasco.

the current canadian government (conservatives) is looking to buy about 65 brand new f-35's to replace the, while still capable, ageing cf-18's. the liberals swear that they'll scrap the whole deal should they come into power before the deal goes down. it strikes me as being crazily similar to the ill-fated Arrow program. the canadian aero-space industry is just getting back on its feet and while we aren't designing our own fighter jets, this could be the first great step in doing so again. if the liberals do follow through on there claim, it'll be another setback which may take decades to return to where it is now. if there is an election before this happens, then i'm voting conservative.
