Rumour control is usually quite accurate.

So, if the AVGPs don't come home, the Canadian taxpayer has been screwed again. Not only that, the CF are now denied tactical inventory assets.

Not only the hardware cost, the ramping up, maintenance costs and transport costs have to be all factored in. So, how many millions of dollars are we pissing away to a Third World "nation", the inhabitants of which don't give a shit about us...except how to set foot in Canada and claim refugee status, or gladly receive Canadian aid like this?

Remember Congo, Somalia, Namibia, Eritrea, anywhere in the Middle East etc...we've been there before and nothing has changed.

This is getting too political, so I'm signing off for now, but I think my points are valid to any Canadian who is not subject to the rectitude of political correctness.
