Kunyada kwa Maritime ku Nova Scotia mu cholowa chake chopanga zombo zayitanidwa kuti alimbikitse cholowa chatsopano cha Lunenburg, malinga ndi Brett Ruskin wa CBC. Nkhaniyi mutu wakuti "Handcrafting mbiri ikupitiriza ku Lunenburg pamene kampani yazamlengalenga imamanga mbali za ndege ya F-35" zikutanthauza kuti kupanga mbali za ndege ku Lunenburg kumagwirizana ndi mwambo waukulu wa Maritime womanga zombo.

Pofotokoza mokondwera paulendo wake wa Lunenburg ku kampani yazamlengalenga ya Stelia, Ruskin akuganiza kuti zida zapamanja, zopangidwa ndi manja zidzawonetsedwa posachedwa mu ndege zankhondo za RCAF ndipo "... mbadwo” udzatipanganso kukhala mbali ya mbiri.

Lingaliro loti galimoto yochita bwino kwambiri - Bluenose, yopangidwa mwaluso komanso yomangidwa kuti ikhale yothamanga ndi matanga athunthu pamphepo yabwino ingathe kufananizidwa ndi gulu lankhondo la 88 F35 lankhondo lankhondo silisunga madzi. Palibe dontho lachisangalalo kapena kukhazikika pamakina opha anthu apamwamba kwambiri - opangidwa kuti ayambitse zida za nyukiliya pomwe akuwonetsetsa kuti mpweya waukulu, wakufa wa kaboni womwe zolinga zanyengo zikugwera pansi pa zomwe NATO ikulamula. Kuyerekeza pakati pa awiriwa kumapambana kokha ngati chitsanzo chomaliza cha media spin.

Kudzutsa mbiri yotsimikizira kugulidwa kwa ndege zaku US Lockheed Martin kukusowa mwatsatanetsatane. Mtengo ndi maphunziro akhoza kukhala poyambira. Pa zombo zophera nsomba, kuphunzira kwachikhalidwe kunkachitika mwachidziwitso ndipo chidziwitso chinaperekedwa. Kuchenjera ndi kulimba mtima kunali chizindikiro cha ogwira ntchito. Captain Angus Walters adaphunzira ntchito komanso ndalama, chabwino, kunali kosowa kwambiri kusunga Bluenose pamagombe awa. Nthawi zasintha ndipo tikaganizira za bajeti ya usilikali tikuwona kuti ikupitirizabe kukwera, pamene ndalama zadzidzidzi zanyengo zimakhala zofanana.

Inki itatsala pang'ono kulowa mu mgwirizano wa $19 biliyoni wogula ndege zankhondo za 88 F35, ndalama zikulowa mumakampani a zida zankhondo aku US. Pa nthawi yonse ya moyo wa jets mtengo umakwera kufika pa $77 biliyoni, koma musadalire. Sitidziwa kuti ndi zolakwika zingati zazikulu za F-35 zomwe zimabwera ndi mgwirizano, chifukwa zikuwoneka kuti Pentagon siyikufuna kugawana nawo. Bungwe la RCAF silingalembere oyendetsa ndege okwanira omwe akufuna kuwulutsa mabomba, ndipo kukonza ma jeti kumafuna kusinthidwa kotheratu, pulogalamu yophunzitsira oyendetsa ndege mabiliyoni ambiri.

Zombo ndi ma jets - mbiri yosiyana, tsogolo losiyana. Tisanyalanyaze mbiri ya Lockheed Martin. Enola Gay, bomba la B-29 lomwe linaponya bomba loyamba la atomiki ku Hiroshima, Japan pa Ogasiti 6, 1945 idamangidwa ku GL Martin Company ku Nebraska - yomwe idakhala Lockheed Martin. Kodi tikufunadi kupitiriza kukhala mbali ya cholowa chimenechi?

Mashimu omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito potsegula ndi kutseka zitseko za zida zankhondo mu mabomba a F35 adapangidwa ndi manja ku Lunenburg. Pamene bomba la RCAF F35 likuyang'ana ndikukantha anthu wamba omwe angayang'ane kumwamba monyadira kukondwerera luntha lakunyumba lomwe linapanga mashimu? Tiyeni tipeze njira zothetsera mikangano ndikupempha nzeru zothetsera kusamvana, inde, kukhazikitsa mtendere monga chikhalidwe cha dziko lino.
