Thankfully, the Liberals are now reversing their politically expedient position from the 2015 election to “never buy the F-35, because it doesn’t work, will never work, is too expensive and is not what the RCAF wants.” Those words, spoken by Justin Trudeau, have all been proven false and the inevitable decision to make the same choice as 17 other countries is welcome, but at what cost?
I have met and worked with a number of these extraordinary Canadians over the years. They are not shrinking violets, nor are they known to lack confidence. Yet this latest decade of deception has caused many of them to eject from the service. They have had enough, and don’t want to wait any longer while flying planes that are, in some cases, twice as old as they are.
The Liberal attacks on the F-35 were relentless, untruthful and politically opportunistic. Like all very advanced aircraft, the F-35 has had development issues, nearly all of which have been, or are being, addressed. We will buy the conventional model, not the marine or vertical takeoff variants that were far more problematic.
All of this retrospective juxtaposed to last week’s announcement speaks to a prime minister who’s quite prepared to play fast and loose with facts, other people’s money and welfare, while making every effort to find someone else to blame. The recent events in Ukraine, the potential for future conflicts with China and the threats to our sovereignty in the Arctic offer clear lessons in the threat and assessment and the need to stay ready. Russian activity in the North alone should be cause for immediate action. Only time and this week’s budget will tell if the Liberal-NDP coalition will learn such lessons, however.Article content

Peter L. Biro: By staying on Hong Kong court, Beverley McLachlin follows the wrong 'principle'What sort of \u0027judicial independence\u0027 is it when a judge’s discretion is fettered by or subject to the supervision of political masters? Absolutely. She thinks Hong Kong is a full democracy hence there is a “strong institution of democracy”? In reality it’s not. Moreover, she just can’t deal with any NationalSecurityLaw cases as she is not “designated judges” named by the regime at all. She can do nothing, sadly.
