“Caveat Emptor?”

Global-village idiots

The UK sells us old, leaky submarines, Italy sells us defective Ambulance-helicopters and the U.S. is trying to stiff us with an overpriced- undeveloped fighter-plane. Has none of our buyers of foreign junk heard of “Caveat Emptor?”

It’s said the world takes little notice of Canada, but a few more dumb deals like these and we’ll be noticed, alright. We’ll be known as the global-village idiots.
