The navy's only operational submarine, the HMCS Windsor, experienced some difficulties today when a fire broke out during a transformer meltdown. Thankfully there were no injuries and the fire was extinguished in short order. It remains at sea to continue to endanger the lives of its crew.
I can't help but wonder how long our country will continue to expect our armed forces to continue to perform their duties without providing them equipment at or above the quality of the people who serve. Helicopters that hardly fly, vehicles with little armour, submarines that would be better off used as BBQ's, and the list goes on.
I have an idea. Lets give the politicians the Heli's to travel around the country and give the challangers to our more deserving people in the armed forces. I would much rather lose a few politicians in acident then I would anyone who actually serves this country.

OH man would THAT be a big BBQ, you could use it at Sturgis for the Harley Ralley, sell whale burgers and Baby Harp Seal Dogs....
I think it would be great at the Calgary Stampede and for all of the festivals here during the summer. Can we say cash cow?
