Hopefully he'll pay for something, eventually. CASR had some interesting ideas about this - buying surplus 'merkun stuff at a reasonable price. |

The proposals put forth by CASR weren't for obsolete stuff, just surplus, thus possibly available to Canada at a good price. |

It's probably better than their ideas for Russian hardware... but would you really want Canada to finance the American Military-Industrial war machine? |

No such danger if we can get the stuff at below cost. |

I hear the Exxon Valdez is on sale for a pretty good price. What about nuclear powered ships? Possibility or pie in the sky? |

Zipperfish Zipperfish: What about nuclear powered ships? Possibility or pie in the sky? Not really practical unless you're thinking aircraft carriers or SSN/SSBN's. The Russians do use nuclear powered icebreakers but I doubt such beasts would be cost effective for us, having none of the required infrastructure to support nuke ships. I vote pie in the sky... |

We could build Conservative Party ships and have inmates row them asea. |

As soon as a sale like this was announced, you would be the first one on here complaining and you Know it. |
