My MP is a Liberal and a usless one at that! Writting to him calling him or dropping by the office is an effort in frustration and wasted energy! yes pissing in the wind but at least you got to piss! heh heh.
Well maybe they will be melted down to be used for something other than beer cans? I thought maybe because of Alcan up the coast but don't think so. More like to be sent to China as part of our so called trade agreements. We send, they take, send back, we pay!

To clarify, SECO told me M548's were available, NO M113's, components for the M113 family have been surplussed as well. This was 1 1/2 years ago, before I purchased the BMP.Don't get me wrong guys, I believe the present government has done good things for our military. I am just really frustrated that our small but very capable fraternity is not allowed to preserve some of Canada's military history. I know that the CWM is tasked with that job, but people like us do a very good job preserving and promoting our military. Just attend any "official" parade or function, and the bulk of the equipment will be from private hands. The policies being enforced now I believe were probably laid down 15-16 years ago. I was actually on a list to acquire two Lynx after they were taken out of service, then was notified when I was fifth from the top, that policy was now that only bonafide military museums could get functional vehicles. I have been approaching this policy from every angle I can think of, but like Rob says, I have been getting wet!
