Canadization No More

May 11th, 2006 by Kevin

The following news comes as a shock to many people

No longer is Canada\’s armed forces prepared to spend time and money to have Canadian firms refit military equipment bought abroad or develop a Canadian version when an acceptable foreign one is available, Defence Minister Gordon O\’Connor said yesterday.

For years, Canada\’s armed forces has \”Canadianized\” new equipment – a process that O\’Connor now suggests only drives up the cost and time it takes to get badly needed gear.

It\’s a sad day that Canada will no longer produce their own weapons. In tribute to this horrible news for our friends to the (barely) north, EckerNet pays tribute to some of their more successful military ventures.
