Hello? Blogging Tories? Radarsat-2? *Tap* *tap*. Is this thing on?


If I might refresh your memories (emphasis added):

In the face of mounting domestic pressure, Industry Minister Jim Prentice is holding off government approval of Canada's top space company and a multi-million dollar taxpayer-funded satellite to a U.S. weapons maker, CTV News has learned.

MDA is considered the jewel of Canada's space industry and over the years the federal government has pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into the company to build it up as Canada's premier space technology firm.

And given how the Blogging Tories are all about fiscal responsibility and protecting the taxpayers' dollar, one can just imagine the seething, white-hot fury emanating from all the Whos in Whoville today.

Well, I did say you had to imagine it, didn't I?
