I do agree with the last part. As far as the proper tender, it didn't need to go to a tender anyways. The previous liberal government before the Harper government had decided that was the jet of the future. That's why we were in the f-35 program. I'm not even saying I'm 100% behind the f-35, but it was already determined that that was our jet. But for political purposes. Trudeau said he wasn't going to buy it only to waste 5 more years to buy it anyways. As far as GDP spending goes, you are accurate on that but it certainly isn't that much more as now. All they did was added veteran, spending and stuff to military spending. So it really isn't a whole lot. Both parties are pretty brutal when it comes to military spending. I think you and I both agree on that. And in the past you and I both called for increased spending. Hell, I don't even want 2%. I want to see it upwards of three to four percent. People need to stop. Assuming that the United States is a happy friend to have next to us, we should be preparing ourselves for an eventual invasion from the United States. Whether it ever comes or not is another story, but we should always be prepared.
