Diefenbaker made one of the most controversial decisions of the last century in Canada in 1959 when his government cancelled the development and manufacture of the [Avro Arrow]? Mach 2 supersonic [jet fighter]? created by A.V. Roe Canada (AVRO?), in Malton?, Ontario, just west of Toronto. Instead, the government decided to deploy the American Bomarc? missile system which theoretically would help defend Canada in the event of a Russian nuclear bomber attack from the north. (The Bomarc missile program became obsolete prior to its installation in the U.S.) |
