And this is the same for all countries. As a citizen of a developped country you should question the accountabilty of your system. Regardless if it's Canada, USA or any other country. I believe that renewing the fleet is probably (don't have all the numbers) a sound financial and social move. You think it's a waste of money and ressources. You would have the same position regardless. That's how I saw it and you can type up anything you want to counter argue what I just posted but in the end it would be futile as you see the political view only and see it as a failure of your political system while I think the move is probably good not a victory of you political system but just a good move. I also believe that your country dignitaries should not travel commercial.
