The National Post is reporting that a Liberal government proposal to buy Super Hornet fighter jets as a replacement for the air force’s aging CF-18s is back on the table.
Finally someone with a brain. Boeing is good - Lockheed Martin is bad. The Super Hornet work in the Canadian Arctic. The F-35s don't. Canada can't do the mid air refueling for the F-35's. It's just not cost effective. That whole F-35 scam was tied to insider trading within the Harper government. The Super Hornets are a much better investment.
Opening up the bidding process is pointless since Lockheed Martin has a past history of underbidding to secure a contract then over charging once they have it. That's one of the reasons they've been in court so many times for fraud.
do agree. those F-35s cost a bundle. more than they were worth.
ReplyDeleteI always thought peter macKay just wanted something to play with that made him feel more "manly". of course Harper wanted to please his American friends also.
