Re: "Military to spend $1 billion on armed drones for Arctic patrols," Aug. 7.
During a financial downturn, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is committing 91原创s to paying $1 billion for armed drones.
It doesn't matter that 91原创s were not consulted on this and likely would not approve such a move, but Harper goes ahead anyway.
Armed drones are being used to kill people daily in the Middle East and now we will be paying for drones in our own skies. That sure sounds like democracy in action.
