Will the Trudeau Government put Canada’s beloved Snowbirds on their Budgetary Chopping Block?

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are a potent Canadian symbol of military excellence and national unity. They are a fantastic face of the Canadian military and serve as a major recruitment tool for the Canadian Forces.

The Snowbirds’ Tutor jets will soon need to be replaced, so the Government of Canada needs to initiate a procurement plan NOW.

I asked Trudeau’s Defence Minister Bill Blair to commit to ongoing funding for this national treasure (currently only $10 million/year). He refused.
Does the Trudeau government intend to put our beloved Snowbirds on the budgetary chopping block?
