As I just reported on CTV Newsnet, Boeing Co. and the Canadian government have finally come to terms on the deal that will see Canada get four C-17 Globemasters (like the one landing,on the left).
Good old horse-trading about the industrial regional benefits had been the stick in the mud but, with a little help from the Prime Minister, the cabinet lobbying has ended and so, tomorrow, deal details will be trotted out.
First plane could be delivered as early as this summer. They’ll all end up being stationed out of CFB Trenton, Ontario.
