Russians Bombing Canada......Conservatives Begin Wagging the Dog
A la the now famous political spin movie, Peter MacKay has called a press conference this morning to tell Canadians about RCAF F-18s being scrambled just before President Obama's visit. Apparently there was a Russian bomber approaching Canadian airspace. Curious to hear the Russian side of the story.

So the Cons can say: We stand on guard for thee". Gah! Horseshit...
More fearmongering - always works for the Cons ya know.
Ever since Shrub decided to position anti-missile batteries on Russia's doorstep the Reds have resumed their bomber patrols along the edge of North American airspace.
BTW Jim, it was the RCAF when I joined up as a kid but didn't it become just the plain old CAF since then?
Announcement made for political mileage.. probably.
But, fear-mongering? Doubtful any Canadian truly has fear of invasion by Russia, but if there are gold and silver medalists in fear-mongering, I'd say that would be David Suzuki and Al Gore..
This news is just to distract people's attention from the real issues facing Canadians.
