Could THIS is the beginning of Canada finally standing o its own two feet in national Defense, after the Avro disaster? A home-grown defense industry using home-grown technology?

The public sentiment is ripe for this initiative to NOT be suppressed by American narcissism.

90%+

A significant portion of the US military budget goes to R&D. Prior to the mango taking a second term they made a lot of that back selling the tech to "allies". Bit less so these days.....
