Throwing Away Canadian History, ex-HMCS ATHABASKAN to go to Breakers! | Roger Litwiller

for many years, Canada and Germany put about the same GDP toward defense. 1.1% or 1.2% of GDP toward defense instead of the suggested or promised 2%. They once had a decent navy and they just scrapped their last true destroyer a
few years ago. Here is the history of this once-mighty warship and the last of her kind. She was from the Iriquois class of Destroyers from the cold war. She may not be like the Arleigh-Burke Class destroyer but I think some of the innovations went on our ships later. Correct me if I'm wrong. The blame goes to the Liberals and the Conservatives. This problem has been festering for over 20 years.
