the Avro Arrow ranks up there with Olympic figure skating on things that piss off Canadians.

Canada was a once a major miltary power by jump the ladder (2.00 / 0) #16 Thu Mar 27, 2008 at 06:17:28 AM EST

Due to WW 2 as it had the fourth largest navy in the world and the 6th biggest army. It was vital to Britain especially before the Americans entered the war.

I think the Avro Arrow and the flying saucer project were hangovers from that period.

Yes, Canada used to be . . . by slozo (1.00 / 1) #17 Thu Mar 27, 2008 at 07:22:58 AM EST

Today, as started it started after WWII, I think this is all just an extension of the military industrial complex of first Britain, then the US of A. Projects that they want to be covert, seem too fanciful for funds approval, etc - do it in Canada!
