Killing the Arrow made sense, it would have been redundant before they finished it. Many US planes were killed for the same reason.
But killing Avro was about Deifenbaker being a typical Conservative submitting to US interests.
Mulroney continued the tradition, sucking up to Reagan every chance he got.
Reagan didn’t even know Mulroney’s name, called him Muldoon.
What killing Avro did was displace thousands of our best engineers out of Canada into the US, where they either worked for US MIC or they started new companies. Canada has a long history of hating anyone in STEM in favor of leech middlemen of business.
