I was just watching the Canadian news and heard a story about the Canadian Navy. Apparently there is some sort of worldwide Navy get-together off the east coast of Canada. They’ll do maneuvers and cheer each other on and basically have a grand old time.
Unfortunately, one country won’t be there. Guess who? That’s right, Canada! We are the hosts of an event we cannot attend. And why can’t we attend? Because our Navy says they don’t have the money to buy the gas! How humiliating is that?
According to various ‘newsheads’ the Navy is just saying that to embarrass our government into giving them more money – money that they already have in abundance. Who knows?
Cost of participating in the Navy games = $3 million
Cost of saving face = priceless.
