This procurement is Harper's baby
Like the phoenix pay system.
OH POOR STUPID HOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your posts REEK OF FRANTIC DESPERATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Phoenix py system was at the EXPERIMENTAL STAGE when Harper left office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was Our idiot Boy that ordered it turned on- full power and NO PRELIMINARY TESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND NO BACKUP PLAN EITHER if Phoenix did not work as its civil service union Hog CREATORS assured LIE-berals it would- and were proven WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PHOENIX is the FEDERAL LIE-beral version of Wynne-bag Ontari-owe E-HEALTH SCANDAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for the truck crap - STARTED with LIE-beral Jean Chretien about 20 odd years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The back ground:
LIE-berals had hit the debt wall and Chretien was looking for savings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And around that time Transport Canada ordered ALL CDN TOWED ARTILLERY OFF THE PUBLIC ROADS- due to ROTTED OUT WHEELS AND FRAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Transport Canada then came down hoard on the rusty army trucks themselves for being ancient rattle traps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So LIE-berals bought a bunch more trucks from a manufacturer named White- and White HAS EXPERIENCE building military vehicles- allied armies used THOUSANDS of White Half Track armoured personnel vehicles in during WW2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the LIE-beral FIX was IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chretien wanted CHEAP TRUCKS AND THAT is WHAT HE GOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the trucks disintegrated at the Alberta military test range where Cdn military vehicles are routinely tested and drivers trained and
etc...................
And there were harsh words and lawsuits about the trucks and the SPECIFICATIONS WRITTEN BY LIE-BERALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And LIE-berals were already STUNG by public reaction to their decision to pay $500 million dollars in penalties for the privilege of backing out of the EH 101 helicopter deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So the LIE-beral solution to the broken truck problem was to SHUT DOWN the truck test facility and limit the ability of critics to find out HOW BAD the vehicles really were!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And when Cdn combat group was sent to Afghanistan by Chretien LIE-berals with utterly inadequate equipment- those worn out and completely UN- armoured Iltis jeeps -- Harper Conservatives bought state of the art LAV3 8 wheel drive armoured vehicles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the LAV 3`s all stayed in Afghanistan- either too worn out to bother shipping home or as gifts to the Afghan Army!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps you will recall that ANY equipment needed by Cdn military had to WAIT until Chretien could arrange with one of our allies till they had a spare ship to carry Cdn gear to Afghanistan?????????????????????????
And that Harper bought some of those Yankee C5A Galaxy cargo planes so Cdns could haul their own gear?????????????
And Harper knew the army needed some new vehicles to replace the worn out ones left behind in Afghanistan and started the procurement process- which Our idiot Boy took over after the 2015 election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meaning there has been PLENTY OF TIME for LIE-berals to get their fingers on the contracts and re-write them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The latest news photos DO NOT SHOW eight wheeled CDN LAV 3`s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The LATEST PHOTOS show 4 wheel armoured machines that are about HALF the size of LAV 3`s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO WHAT HAVE LIE-BERALS BOUGHT US??????????????????????????????????
Is the latest LIE-beral truck "deal" comparable to the CRAP White truck deal from 15 years back in the Chretien era?????????????????
Sure sounds that way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And is the latest LIE-beral truck deal comparable to the EH 101 helicopter fiasco?????????????????
LIE-berals paid out $500 million dollars so they would NOT have to buy EH101 helicopters and instead they bought a related product- the Cormorant- and then paid out MILLIONS MORE to repair FAULTY TAIL ROTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals BY-PASSED the EH 101 with its 3 engines and its PROVEN ABILITY to fly safely back to base with one engine out !!!!!!!!!!!!
And instead - LIE-berals bought us Cormorants with 2 engines and faulty tail rotors and the Cormorants offer ONLY the promise they wont hit the ground TOO HARD and be be wrecked if an engine goes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cormorants are NOT as safe as EH 101`s and cannot haul as big a load either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
So fast forward- and Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals are under fire from Trump for being NATO SLACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Trump is picking on NAFTA as a way to force LIE-berals to get serious about national security and Our idiot Boy decides to get his hands on various military contracts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And LIE-berals HATE the military and need to spend some money- but want to BUY ONLY THE LEAST LETHAL CRAP THEY CAN FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which is why LIE-berals MADE A BIG DEAL out of completing a couple of the virtually UNARMED De Wolf Arctic patrol ships and have said NOTHING about the MAJOR LIE_beral orchestrated DELAYS to the building of new RCN destroyers- because LIE-berals do not believe our navy should HAVE such weapons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that is what happened to the new destroyers that Harper ordered????????????????????????????
The orders are not cancelled- they have just been LIE-beraled- loaded down with all sorts of design questions and operational options designed PURELY SO LIE-berals CAN PRETEND THEY ARE BUYING WARSHIPS - when in fact they are working HARD NOT TO BUY ANY WAR SHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for the latest army vehicles - it seems LIE-berals have been fiddling with that too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why not BUY MORE of the LAV 3`s that have given good service in an ACTUAL WAR ZONE????????????????????
And the LAV 3`s are made in London Ontari-we.........but oh dear- Ontari-owe is HOSTILE to LIE-berals these days as former premier WYnne-bag - with her RECORD LOW political approval rating can attest to- so WHY would LIE-berals want to buy GOOD vehicles from an Ontari-owe supplier??????????????????
LIE-berals despise the army and choose always the most crappy weapons and limited effectiveness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recall the Cdn shock when it was discovered during the Kosovo bombing campaign that Cdn fighter WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO ASSIST for TWO REASONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chretien was working SO HARD to avoid that NATO SLACKER label- and his planes were FLAT OUT REJECTED a a security risk!!!!!
Firstly- because Cdn radios were so obsolete they could not talk to other NATO pilots without enemies listening in to the OBSOLETE CODES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And secondly- because the F18`s that had been very grudgingly bought by Pierre Trudeau- to avoid his own condemnation as a NATO SLACKER- did not have any bomb racks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah- those "modern" Cdn fighters had no way to attack targets on the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And of course -Chretien was forced to order improvements to the F 18`s- to avoid his own condemnation as a NATO SLACKER!!!!!!!!!!
And Our idiot Boy Justin is PM and he is in the middle of YET ANTHER MILITARY PURCHASE SCANDAL involving crappy vehicles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That Our idiot Boy DID NOT WANT TO BUY in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And LIE-berals like HOID want to put blame on Harper for the changes made by LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh that is JUST LIE-BERAL BUSINESS AS USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And who wants to BET that RCN will NEVER HAVE any new destroyers as long as we have a LIE-beral govt????????????????
One has only to look at the court case over that Cdn admiral Norman to see that LIE-berals have been having their way with ship specifications !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals just believe it is WRONG to buy our military ANYTHING USEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And reliability and cost are NOT important in LIE-beral land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is the truth behind the latest truck purchase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And is it not ODD that are just as many whines about LIE-beral purchased army vehicles as there are about LIE-beral purchased Alternative fuel buses purchased for TTC from Bombardier?????????????????????
A CYNIC MIGHT SEE A PATTERN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
