A decent PM who pissed the bed with the cancellation of the Avro Arrow. What a legacy...which of course opened the door for LP (a good PM) but also for that bastard Trudeau.
Sorry Dave. Lester was no prize either. Anyone who makes it illegal for a citizen to be knighted by the Queen simply because he didn't seems pretty childish to me. Yet another in a long line of sub par Canadian leaders.
Maybe one day we can have a PM we can be proud of.
Judging by the current crop of party leaders where on a downhill slide. These lossers make some of the past PMs look very good.
The arrow was Louis st Laurents mess, dieffenbaker just had tr misfortune of cleaning it up
The history of the Avero Arrow is described in the Whiphdia site Avero Canada CF-105 Arrow.
You can see reasons why it was not built, and their are some storys the US did not want it built. At the time this was considered the most advanced plane in the world.
There were many reasons for the demise of the Arrow. Deifenbaker had a personality clash with Crawford Gordon plus he was out to demolish anything St. Laurent worked on.
