And we were concerned about the sponsorship scandal?

Sponsorship costs: $250 million
F-35 fiasco: $45+ Billion and counting

http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/04/28/national-defence-expected-to-lose-some-f-35s-before-all-65-delivered-report/

OTTAWA — National Defence scientists predicted in 2011 that the military
would have almost certainly lost several of its brand-new F-35 stealth
fighters before all 65 were even delivered, Postmedia News has learned.

In December 2011, the Defence Department’s research arm, Defence
Research and Development Canada, published a report in which it said
“that the probability of having 63 or more (F-35s) remaining at this
time (when the last one is delivered) is approximately 54 per cent.”

Yep, just Ottawa screwing over the taxpayers.

Liberal started F35s, Cons keep us in and all with NDP support.

Just like Airbus, Cons got us in and Liberals and NDP support bought
them for Air Canada anyways.

Sort of why Canadians are screwed no mater how they vote. The rigged
ballot is assured that big fat corrupt and wasteful over taxing
government always wins.

Yep, the ruse of Canadian democracy. Add up all government union
employees, welfare, first nations, EI and other able social assistance
abusers you have over 4 million big corrupt government votes before the
polls open.

Voting is a waste of gas and shoe leather. No one on the ballot really
represents the people, they really represent government managing the
people for their money. All you get to chose is the name.

No referendum, no recall and no recourse, as it is term style
dictatorships based on rigged ballots.

Western democracy is a farce. Back room money and media buy our elections.

for it leave, they can all share having nothing but debt and discontentment.

Democracy has no meaning without people who fully understand it.

"Democracy" has become one of the most abused terms. What you call
"Canadian democracy" is nothing more than democratic dictatorship. It
has as much to do with democracy as so called "people's democracy"
used to have with a real thing.

As long as people's votes go for better TV image of the leader rather
than substance and integrity of the local candidate they get what they
deserve. Polls on Trudeau The Second are perfect confirmations of
that.

Any reform should start from each of us - individuals.

See how quickly you make yourself out an idiot?

Post anything that shows 'NDP support" for the F-35.

Anything.

To save any credibility at all.

Jack Layton supported in vote to the Liberal initiatives that got us
into the JSF program in the first place.

But NDP can't even stand steady, now do a flip flop. But I do agree,
the F35 program needs the same treatment Austrialia, Swiss, Dutch, US
Navy and others have done, not in the purchasing budget.

Program is just one big huge corrupt turkey that makes Muslroney Airbus
scam pale by comparisn.

Fact is the three corrupt parties have all had chances to kill the
program and did not. In the Liberal minority, NDP made no moves to kill
the F35 turkey.

Just Ottawa stage show to make you believe they give a damn, they don't,
they would rather sell us out to subsidize US war complex.
