(only after letting our soldiers risk their lives every time they flew in an aging Sea King.)
So long as the canadian military was maintaining them they were at no real risk flying the Sea Kings. Their aging and should be replaced but we're hardly talking a death trap...
No risk? Really? Why not ask those who fly the sea kings what they think of them. Or do you think it was okay when a Canadian military ship had to return to Halifax instead of the persian Gulf because the Sea king it was carrying crashed to the deck shortly after taking off?
This is hardly the meat of my post though. The main focus should be on Liberal party incompetence and vote pandering. Cancelling the helicoptor deal Mulroney made was nothing short of vote pandering. The Liberals only ordered more several years later. Also the Liberals bought less helicoptors for more money, but you never hear about that. The Liberals also bought helicoptors not compatible with ones currently used for search and rescue.
I'm not a huge Conservative booster, but I can't stand this current bunch of Liberals. We need a change. This time we need a change for change's sake.
