This is to remember the Canadian made and designed fighter-interceptor. The Avro Arrow was a revolutionary jet fighter designed in Canada. Its projected capabilities were greater even than our current fleet of CF-18's. The project was canceled by the then prime minster John Diefenbaker. This was all brough about by the american president telling our prime minister that jets were obsolete and that missiles were going to replace all fighters. A few years after the Arrow was canceled the american missiles were proven ineffective and we then bough a number of american fighters ( I think like 68 for as much money as would have been spent on 100 + arrows.) The conservatives blame the liberals for the state the military is in, however throughout Canadian history the conservatives have screwed us. The cancellation of the Arrow lost us what could have been vast fortunes resulting in super power status, the selling of our Chinooks and plunging us into dept after the liberals brought us up from under the surface. I don't support the liberals but if I had to choose between the two, I would choose the the liberals. REBUILD THE ARROW PROGRAM.!!
