It's strange that in the middle of the article, there's suddenly a paragraph about how government requirements on research and procurement usually are detrimental. It's like they're saying "this story is neat, but let's not forget government is awful." At least finish your story before criticizing unrelated things.
- mixedCase 5y agoHow is it not topical to mention that a government-led research project failed to accomplish with their own data trove what a private organization did with it, when the whole article is about that very data and that private organization's achievement?
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThat is not the paragraph I'm discussing. I'm talking about the one that mentions the "years-long saga of obtaining new military jets."
- glorygut123 5y agoIt's a reference to the Avro Arrow, which is a bitter pill in Canadian history for government mismanagement.
- version_five 5y agoNo, it's about the current CF-188 replacement procurement and waffling on buying the F-35s.
- version_five 5y agoAs someone who had worked with both research and procurement agencies in the Canadian government, I'm surprised the author was able to hold their tongue until the middle of the article.
- aaa_aaa 5y agoOP is right, nevertheless.
