UPDATE-Canadian government's plan-B for F-35 failure is just like Plan-A---spin

Delusion seems to come in many forms with the faith-based F-35 cheerleaders. Canada's government officials that are engaging in wishful thinking about F-35 program health seem to be reaching the waterfall.

See this quote from here, "MacKay to meet U.S. counterpart amid fighter-jet confusion"

"On Wednesday in the Commons, Mr. Fantino said there was a “Plan B” in the event the planes were not delivered on time. But he added: “The aircraft are coming off the production line. Pilots are flying them. They are being delivered to countries. Our program is on track, on time and we are staying with it.”

It seems that using Lockheed Martin talking points in government can only get you so far. Ask the former Dutch Defence Secretary Jack de Vries.

Maybe the Baghdad Bob method of PR should be removed from civil servant's skill sets.
