CSA: Canadian Shit Agency

Somewhere in this northern nation is a Canadian Space Agency but no one will ever know. When an opportunity arises, like the ESA Mars Rover, the plan gets scrapped. Could it have been the cost? No, according to the same article, it would have meant zero additional dollars. Could it have been that we were working on something far more important. If anybody can even name a CSA project other than the Canadarm, it would be an impressive feat. Given the opportunity to build ESA's Mars Rover, Ottawa decides to scrap the plan.

At one point in time, a tory regime meant business friendly and middle class enemy. One day perhaps, it shall be again but not this day. Instead, on this day, the tories are just unimaginable and incredibly idiotic. This is the kind of stupidity you expect from giving a basic arithmetic lesson to a pile of rocks sitting in a pool of dumbassness. When even NASA approves of the joint work there really is no reason to refuse.

There is one thing that I liked about the CSA, which was its ability to produce such important robotics components with an exceptionally small budget relative to other space agencies and yet get such renown for it. If it squanders the chance to do more, it only means it will do less in the future as other nations and their space agencies simply fill the void while our government diddles its fingers. It's rather interesting to see that while this government attempted to ridicule the previous Prime Minister who had earned the nickname "Mr. Dithers" yet dithers ever more itself.
