The cancellation was the right call

#OTD in 1959, the Federal government announced the cancellation of the Avro Arrow. This decision was perhaps the most controversial in the history of Canadian #aviation. Hear our dramatic reading of former PM John Diefenbaker's justification for his contentious decision. youtu.be/zt5eBm1AVXg

Really feeling the Canada is an “apartment over a meth lab” analogy lately.

An important thing to remember about the Battle of the Atlantic with movies like this is “The RCN warships…provided 48 percent of the convoy escorts in the North Atlantic, compared to 50 percent by the British and a paltry 2 percent by the Americans” -Tim Cook, The Good Allies, 344.
