The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) will be getting two Airbus A330-200 aircraft to replace part of its aging CC-150 Polaris fleet, the Department of National Defence (DND) announced Thursday.

Biting used again huh? We’re so cheap.

About time.

Let us eat vaccines!

Just keep spending so our youth and kids won't have a future but to only pay more tax and debt, this is what's upsetting people in this thread, bad timing and throwing it in Canadian's faces that eh while you struggle to travel I'm getting a new plane hahaha!

Just a friendly reminder that they are RCAF aircraft and are for the transport of whoever becomes PM. You know, not Trudeau’s personal jet, like some people will go on about.

Could have gone for the the A350 or A330 neo imo

Not even sure why this is news. The previous planes were LOOOOOONG overdue to be replaced, and these will be used for years by whomever is PM. Compared to what the US just paid for their two new presidential planes, this was a bargain as well!!

Finally switching to electric planes to combat climate change.

They won’t be PMJT personal planes. They will belong to the Canadian govt., therefore, every PM to follow will use the airplanes. Anyone brave enough to run our country in its current state deserves a functioning, modern means of travel.

Didn’t he say solders that gave everything were asking to much? wouldn’t f-18 be nice to upgrade first? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Why is the price the headline ? What about it’s purpose or utility as a headline ? If we need to use numbers what about ROI or capital costs vs maintenance costs ? JustinTrudeau AnitaAnandMP

You might not think it's important, but what happens if the PM is taken hostage and you maroons that say good, you don't understand what that would actually do to the country. Don't think for second that even the strongest leaders won't crack under tourture spill state secretes

You do know every leader in the world has their own private plane to travel, the old ones had to be replaced. It's a protection issue, no different then air force 1

Ok let me get this straight! Pm says not enough to give to his troops but then go’s and buys himself a plane? 🤷🏼‍♂️ what a slap in the face to the troops. This clown is at the end of his rope and his pushing it.

Buying used again!

I hear they need a bigger bar on board. The champagne socialists Can't Get Enough stop the taxpayer purchased spirits

How's that impact our budget and carbon footprint? Funny how farmers and truckers are vilified for their carbon foot print but the private jet industry brings no attention...'look over here, not over there' ...despicable.

I am almost sure the the current plane the P.M. uses is an old Wardair plane. Wardair is legendary Canadian history!

Those use the new hummingbird flock propulsion engines; they fill them up with bird seed and they are good to go. I believe they also have bikes that generate electricity instead of seats, so all passengers contribute with maintaining energized equipment operating.

First requirement....it must be able to land on Tofino's airport runway. A sanctimonious, jet-setting Liberal prime minister's needs have priority over ordinary Canadians.

Drama teacher has big plans apparently

It’s so fun to see how people are complaining about this news while knowing damn well my haşmetli hükümdarım has 13 of his own.

Start flapping your arms Justin. Reducing the carbon footprint in Canada starts with you!

He is asking for more than we can give!

Military industrial complex goes burrr

it’s so fun to see how people are complaining about this news while my haşmetli hükümdarım has 13 of his own.

Are they getting used ones from Australia

And hopefully they run on unicorn piss not fossil fuel!!!

Shouldn’t these be electric planes?

“Can Force One?” 😂😂😂 Oh, how American!

The right are of course bellyaching, not intelligent to realize that if Skippy was to ever be pm, he’d fly in it too. 😂😂

Oh, the right isn’t going to like that!!

The Queen of England flys commercial, British Airways. Pretty environmentally clean to get on a plane flying there anyway instead of taking your own. If it’s good enough for the British Queen it should be good enough for our Queen.

$102 million in R.U.S.A. dollars I am sure Service Canada or whatever department contract did not stulipulate not $1 dollar more. In next few months will be over $200 million in R.U.S.A. dollars. Polièvre probably salivating to use it with his bitcoins...

But still no jets to replace the CF-18....glad to see where the givt priorities are. As long as Trudope arrives anywhere in style!

Mr Climate change needs his plane ready to go surfing or one an illegal trip to a buddies island. Meanwhile 6 years later he decided to buy planes he had canceled.

The second plane is where they keep the party favors, his photo op entourage, costumes, a giant inflatable duck....

Anyone seen Sofia and the kids lately?

Did you know AirCanada have left my wife and infant stranded on two occasions. So far it’s over 50 hours to get from Canada to Australia and she’s still trying to get on her last flight. There was a mother with 3 kids sleeping on the floor of the airport in Toronto.

Maybe the PM can plant a tree in his next photo op before he flies across the world for a hand shake.

I certainly hope the PM JustinTrudeau can comfortably fly to his next climate change summit on the biggest jet fuel guzzling jet possible. He definitely isn't a hypocrite. I hope each member of his armed security detail also gets their own jet as well. For the climate.

Great this comment section should be fun, lots of people thinking the PM of Canada should just drive to to international events in a mini van or fly coach, brilliant.

I'd love to get an old one and turn it into a house or cottage.

Shocker, blackface Hitler spending more money.

Prime Minister didn't think his bed was big enough for his head?

I wish this stuff wasn't news. They need jets, end of story. Build a new PM residence too while we are spending.

They better be pixie dust powered planes aligned to the piece of 💩 PM 'green' policies.

Arriving winter of 2023 here’s hoping the POS JustinTrudeau or his liberal_party lapdogs aren’t around to use them!!

It's about time

That's very climate friendly

Oh that’s a fucking joke!!!

I can hardly wait to read why/how this is JT’s fault.

What’s happening with 24 Sussex?

Of course they are or drama teacher needs comfort in this green new world….wait are those to jet’s electric

Why not buy some more decommissioned Australian aircraft! Trudeaus says it’s good enough for our armed forces!

He uses so much fuel for his vanity flights of fancy. That's ok we pay his carbon tax.
