Statement by the Prime Minister of Lockheed-Martin
Canada needs this aircraft for adequate force projection from our seat at the table in the global alliance against environment-rich situational awareness and extremist terrorism. Canadians who think otherwise have the luxury of living in a democracy where futile parliamentary bickering is protected by strong patriotic citizens prepared to do tough, dirty work with no thanks. We had to bomb Libya with antique F-18s: who wants that stain on Canadian history?
