The birds pictured appears to be the Canadian species most threatened with extinction. Its all due to the ability of Prime Minister Harper's unique special ability to speak out of both sides of his many faces.
The Cornservatives promised all out support for the Canadian Armed Services if they engaged in Afghanistan. Earlier this year, the military were told to trim their budget by a mere $43M.
Now this to a government arm which is traditionally so Cornservative to be considered extreme in its righty wingedness. recently the Snowbirds were grounded due to a faulty ejection seat system. This was the same system that replaced a previous even faultier ejection system when the last pilot was killed flying ferry to Moose Jaw in US territory.
As the fault in the safety equipment appears be corrected, the Snow Bird command finds out that due to the funding cutback. The amount is just about the same amount required to operate these Canadian ambassadors.
The Snow Birds existence should be really considered. The aircraft they fly is a decade older than the average age of pilots that fly them. It should be pointed out that while this aircraft is carefully maintained its value as a training and aerobatic aircraft should be considered.
A replacement aircraft has been required for years. The standard BAE Hawk which is already the principal NATO trainer can be had cheaply. A half billion dollars could purchase a whole new squadron of functional aircraft for aerobatic demonstration.
Both sides of the mouth kills birds.

If it doesn't make a profit for the Conservatives or their friends, it's obviously not worth doing.
Stevie desperately needs that $43 million to invest in economic renewal - for wealthy Canadians.
It's too bad northern Ontario is dying on his watch but what the hell, we didn't vote for him anyway. In fact, he probably isn't even aware we exist up here.
Apparently the Snow Birds have exactly the same priority, which would be zero on a scale of one to a million.
