I find that hard to believe when I take a long hard look at the technolgy... once exported it can be used for way more than just defense.

Oh, what Canada could have been...technology wise.

This is the reason I am torn. When Avro closed, Lockheed, Boeing, etc. were in the parking lot recruiting those who'd just been given pink slips...
It is nice to know that many Canadians worked at NASA and reached into space and the moon... It is also nice to know that many Canadians are down in Hollywood making great films that are seen and loved the world over...
If you get my drift.
