A video about the Avro Arrow fighter aircraft I made as a project 4 my history class at school. Sry, the soundtrack doesnt correctly match the video and the film is slightly laggy due to youtube and there is short black spots... youtube lag again.

  • In my opinion Diefenbaker made a lot of underhanded money!

  • The British and the Canadians were both screwed by the U.S.A. Together Britain & Canada would have been too much of a rival to them. TSR2 & Arrow just imagine THAT!! Keep the faith remember we're family. Up the Canadians.

  • @DaManzMoney I will agree. He was a total idiot. After buying the missiles and fighter for the USA, we could have had 130 arrows. But I really wonder if one is still out there?

  • Vid full of faults, and majorly untrue.. I rate this video 'turd'..

  • @canadamonster: 'Traitor' because he cancelled the CF-105 program? Here's an interesting fact. The St. Laurent Liberals intended to scuttle the Arrow program themselves had they won the 1957 election, as Laurent & Howe both recognized the runaway costs (and a looming recession). Diefenbaker initially continued to fund the program (mainly to secure 3 seats in the Malton area in '58), and once the election was over and his majority realized, decided to review the file, ultimately killing it.

  • @canadamonster: Hardly. If anything he was a western populist and anything BUT pro-american. His refusal to allow nuclear-equipped US Bomarcs onto Canadian soil was one of the key reasons he lost the '63 election. In fact, and with the possible exception of Trudeau and Nixon/Reagan, Diefenbaker's relationship with Kennedy was one of the iciest periods of Canada-US relations in the 20th century...to the extent that Kennedy insiders actively assisted in campaigning for the Pearson Liberals.

  • @raynus1 i am from saskatchewan and i know better. he was an american wearing a canadian flag and a traitor

  • @canadamonster: Actually, Diefenbaker disliked most Americans (especially JFK), and railed against free trade with them. Liberals were the party most cozy with the USA in the late 1950's. True story.

  • it's retarted how the americans persuaded the canadian goverment to scrap the greatest plane, and then traded it for the bomark missiles. now a few years later, the americans built the black bird and called it the greatest plane ever saw. Did canada stick their noses in and complained about their plane? NO. heres a note to americans, MIND UR BUISNESS! and have some respect for our country!!!!!

  • dief was an anmerican and a traitor
