Waste of money

No impact and surveillance drones are better at their function

This!!!!!!!! At a day and age when the world is going drones, Douggie goes and buys old school choppers.

All he does is spend, it’s going to take decades to recover from him and our public services will never be the same

We still haven't recovered from fucking Harris yet.

Yeah but everyone attributes what he did to the ONDP so it’s okay to vote Con

hovering drones don't have the range. airplane type drones can cost 100k and have their own limitations

100k is nothing compared to a helicopter…which also has limitations

This is ODSP coverage for almost a thousand people/years. But they'll suffer brutal poverty.

car thieves aren't slipping away in car chases. The car is in a box on a ship in the ocean before the cops know anything about it.

If the cops start digging a bit into longstanding organized crime groups, the judge will jail them for a long time. Police aren't bringing those cases.

Pretty sure that car chase over a minor infraction that ended in a collision and a bunch of innocent people dead a couple of months ago has more to do with this than the car thefts. Assuming that there is any real-world basis for the purchase at all.

Supreme waste of money.
