What will the Conservative government think up next?

From Paul at Celestial Junk:

New Canadian Aircraft Carrier

... In Prince George BC:

Remember the Liberals attacking the Conservatives over carriers in the 2004 federal election?

I commented during the 2005-6 election campaign:

...Martin announced the Joint Support Ship project on 14 April before the 2004 election was called:

The Conservatives upped the capability ante and called for "hybrid aircraft carriers"--similar to vessels Italy, the Netherlands, UK and US already have (though I don't think the Conservatives had really thought this through):

http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/lpd17/

The Liberals then shamelessly misrepresented the proposal and ran their ads suggesting that very large carriers like the USN has were what the Conservatives had in mind...

Not that the Conservatives have done anything about acquiring such ships since they took power; instead we have the under-funded Joint Support Ship mess (more here).
