    Why is military procurement such a bloody mess in this country. Truly don’t understand. Get something that’s good enough to meet the baseline requirements and then apply a local spending/manufacturing lens. Done.

    This need to always purchase the absolute best and not build local manufacturing is a real buzzkill.

      This has to do with decisions made in th 70’s. Public works got their fingers into the process and the scale back in the 80’s solidified the fucking mess we have now.

      We need to get out of “this is the way it’s done” mentality that permeates canadian culture and holds us back.

      Punch people who say old stock canadian.
