Heh, I go every year that they are in my area. In fact, I've got a poster with all the signatures of the 1993 members. They stunts and tricks that they do are freakin' amazing.

Sure, Americans like to make fun of the Canadian Air Force (CAF). But let me just tell you this, if Defenbaker hadn't been an American cow-tow, you would have been loving our contribution to combat aeronautics up until the mid eighties at least.

Canada didn't scuttle the Avro Arrow project all on its own.

Mach two in a climb. That's right, motherfuckers, we had designed the worlds best air superiority fighter... Had. And the CT-114's were also Canadian designed and built.

So, make your jokes. One day, when the world needs it, Canada will supply the airplane that will be dropping supersonic snowballs on unsuspecting _________ .

I love how we still hold on to the Avro Arrow as a sign of Canada having smart people.

Fuckin' A.

And, well, it's just about all we got...

Canada Arm? Maybe? Halifax-class Frigates? Possible.

I mean, sure, we've probably done some other smart stuff too... right?

Well the Russians actually fly the migs. They only ever built one or two avro arrows.

Canada's technological contribution to the world: Blackberrys.

The world would end without us.

Five. Almost Eight. Two flew. One was purposly scuttled.

For an American marketplace.

Hey what Canada lacks in technology it makes up for in sheer numbers. The British sure found that out when they needed escorts in WW2.

Damn straight.

We needed those badly since we were busy defending ourselves against the rest of Europe at the time.

Come to think of it, what were you guys doing? Oh thats right...nothing.


:P

Hey we gave you some older ships to help fill in the gaps. And when we got cranking, boy oh boy, we really got things moving. All Britian and Russia had to do was to supply the personnel, we had more than enough industrial capacity to supply the planes, ships, and tanks.
