All of us would love to have the BEST of everything, however the best is not always required. Hence my auto purchase reference. I don't know what you mean by the military stealing our money idea. Who has said that?

Oh, I'm a pretty hardcore guy.

I don't think anyone here has said any of that. I simply pointed out the demonstrated need for independent oversight.

I was making the comparison to point out why independent oversight is required for these types of procurement's.

I would simply direct your attention back to the F-35 debacle.

I don't think I would let my 16 year old son pick out a car for himself (unless he was paying for it) He might like the Corvette, but the Chevrolet would be completely adequate.

Do Americans have any kind of idea yet on the hourly cost of the F 35?

I think you will find any plane you want to discuss will lose range as you load it up.

Other than maybe illegal arms and drugs to the US.

And Trumps policies are driving up Canadian property values. Yhanks Donny boy.

And for a good many years to Cuba as well.

I think it's because they can't figure out how to make maple syrup or good beer.

I wonder if trump will put the same 35% import tax on himself that he wants to put on Ford.

Then maybe he should stop having his products such as clothing items etc. that he sells from being produced in China as well as Mexico. So I guess he's a hypocrite as well as a buffoon.

So you would prefer a bull in a china shop such as Trump?

Trump is merely a buffoon, not a strongman. There is a difference.

Like I say, when those pipeline jobs begin the losses from the approval of same will reverse. And it's not corruption when you follow the rules to the tee on dinner dates. Electoral reform is in the works. As to idiotic statements, how about Kellie Leitch?

JT dropped due to his pipeline approvals. Once those jobs start to kick in that will change. Hopefully Canadians will still remember Harper's bullshit next election.

Oh, so the hissy fit theory is correct.

Oh,well clearly then the 295 will save us money on brake pad replacements as well.

I didn't say we bombed them, but they certainly are being bombed. Go dig up some pictures of the devastation and tell me you wouldn't be heading for the exit signs as fast as your little legs would carry you if it was hapenning to you. There are lot of impoverished people in the world but there are not billions being bombed. Such exaggerations undermine your position.

I am very much a Canadian and as such believe that we should help others who need it most, regardless of borders or skin colors. I would certainly prefer, and I'm sure they would as well, that we stop bombing the hell out of their country so they wouldn't have to flee for their lives. Maybe Trump can speak to his good buddy Putin and get that done.

You should know by now that it's usually easy to find numbers somewhere that support whatever we want them to.
