Yet another case of Harper walking the walk but not talking the talk. When he and O'Connor had his big press conference announcing Canada First and his big re-investment in the CF, he promised four big ticket items; the JSS, C-17s, new trucks and new helos.
C-17s---check
Trucks----still not ordered, nevermind in use
Helos---still not ordered, nevermind in use
JSS---apparently cancelled
For those keeping score, he's kept ONE promise...so much for Canada First. Even his budget increases are no bigger than the Liberals promised under Martin.
Harper has well and truly bungled the defence portfolio.
