Cameron also sought military advice from the Canadian prime minister, Stephen Harper, an ally from the G20, and someone with influence in Washington. h/t Jdot @ Bluelikeyou
Canada is taking an active role in providing relief to the citizens of Libya. Our PM Stephen Harper has offered to debate the issue if it lasts longer than three months. Any idea if the opposition are interested in trouble brewing in Japan, our economy, the middle east? Based on the kangaroo court chasing silly scandals I don't think so. The worst thing for the opposition is to allow the real issues facing Canadians interfere with their agenda for an opportunistic election before 2012.
Those darn French fighters in their new shiny Jets must have thought those Tanks were about to launch into the no fly zone....
Perhaps the news media can explain how Libyans were able to develop flying tanks as third world country...

We have already dispatched a ship. Canada has followed up with six CF-18's and our PM is in France meeting with a few leaders who are not too busy sitting on the fence or attending to other priorities.
We can count on the opposition parties to deny the need for new aircraft. Canadians should be thankful we are facing only third world countries with equipment older than ours in Aghanistan and Libya.
As it is written, the F-35 is the only strike/fighter jet that can meet the specifications contained in the SOR.7
I don't expect anything to change as our Finance Minister presents his budget on Tuesday. The opposition and Liberals media have already decided what is newsworthy from our Federal government. Our PM and government are busy on files that matter and it a shame the opposition can't focus on real issues.
