Until today the purchase of at least 65 of Lockheed's new war planes that don't work was a done deal in Canada.
Nevermind that a host of allies and even some branches of the US military wouldn't touch the F-35 with a ten foot stick.
It's too complicated.
It's too expensive.
And it doesn't work!
Today Julian Fantino stood up in the House of Commons and used all kinds of weasel-speak to signal that we're on board, but not really.
I have to hand it to Fantino. He's been a target here for his over-the-top law-and-order campaigns. His campaign to stamp out homosexuality in London has forever put him on the negative side of the ledger among liberals and libertarians.
His street-racing initiative was even stupider. Wonder if any gay street racers got caught up in that? Heaven help them!
Anyway, he's got a partial redemption from the Falling Downs shit-list for disavowing the F-35.
