It appears that Canada is getting involved in the drone arms race.
According to a report in the Ottawa Citizen, the Harper government recently approved a military 'request to aerospace firms' to provide details about the types of drones now available in the marketplace.
The 'request' pointed out the need for the unmanned aircraft to operate in the Arctic. The aircraft should also be able to carry precision-guided munitions, the government said.
"This capability will allow the CF [Canadian Forces] to fill critical deficiencies," industry officials were told in the request for information sent to them July 23.
According to DND documents, the military intends to spend around $1 billion on the project.
The development and deployment of armed drones has become a sensitive subject around the world, primarily because of the way the Americans have used them for cross-border raids on Taliban and al-Qaida suspects in Pakistan. Their use has provoked concern that many civilians have been caught during these air strikes.

This is to provide much needed tax revenues for the queen lizard's yachts and golden carriages and dukes and princes and lords and summer palaces and jet airplanes and gardens and butlers and maids and polo ponies and trips to Jamaica and the Bahamas and the Lesser Antilles and the Fauklands and her museums and her winter palace and the Earls and the Ladies and her bankers and her personal guards with the tall black furry hats and a new limo and her new helicopter and her new diamonds and her African slaves and her ambassadors and her consulates and her vaccines and her chemical warfare and her diplomats and her postage stamps and her inside trading and her stock brokers and her banks and her London Tower and her 'Global Warming' wizard Al 'D' Gore and his sidekick Branson and her button polishers and the "Me First" sashes for the princes and her satanic rituals and her satanic sneak thieves and her MI-6 and her royal air force and her royal army and her royal sailors and her royal aircraft carrier and her loser Olympics and her knighthoods and her Bush41/queen lizard joint bank account.... Must I go on? And her dietician and her art purchases and her land purchases and her stock purchases and her tourism budget and her Westminster maintenance and her British space program ( The Brits are going to travel to the sun but avoid the heat by going at night. This concept 'thought through by Al 'D' Gore) and a myriad of other useless extravagances slobbered onto queen lizard by MI-6, the CIA, and a demented horde of wankers who lost their senses a long, long, long time ago.
