Actually, a major political stink in Canada at the moment is a $9 billion (U.S. or Canadian, it doesn't matter - it's a lot of salsa) proposed purchase of F-35 all-purpose Lockheed fighters. This purchase is being considered because their F-18s are getting a little long in the tooth. Don't discount the political impact of this "aerodynamic impact". This might be the clincher.

Any way you spin it, salsa tastes far better on a taco than an F-35.

 

OTOH, salsa is relatively useless in an international conflict. Although I suppose you do have to feed the soldiers.

 

Just sayin'.
