I was already pretty depressed as I spent the morning reading about Canada's reluctance to buy F35's, they have already committed to 16 jets, and that could be the all they get out of the 88 that were planned.
In the early part of my career I worked closely with the Canadian Forces. How I loved doing my small part to help them transition to the CF-18 as part of their NATO commitment (this was prior to the Soviet collapse). Today, I am completely down about the situation. I thought this was a forever close relationship, one that is vital to the protection of North America and the free world, and now it is in such distress. I would have never believed it could happen.
