Very good points Rob, that I never considered.
Can you explain to me why we have chosen to purchase foreign made equipment rather than building it ourselves? It seems to me a point in case once more where we are sending Canadian jobs outside of our boarders rather than keeping them at Home. You would think something like our our Defence should be made from home grown expertise, construction and manpower. For the naysayers out there, recall our military vehicle capacity during WW2 and the fact that we could be a vendor instead of a buyer, just like in WW2. Canada should maintain its own Defence Industry, on a smaller scale, least in my opinion. Being close neighbours with the US has me wondering why we do not consider anything that they use and perhaps ride coat tail on some of their contracts as a second option?
