Umm, his name was "Diefenbaker"

Since then, the country's been going downhill from there.

Well, it's way up north. Which way would you expect to
go?

Exactly. If the Canadian Charlie Brown wants to keep whiffing at

Some say that John Diefenbaker got what he deserved :-\ but that's a
long story which is quite off-topic for ssh.

Well, our federal debt has been going downhill for some time now, if
that's what you mean. In the meantime, we're too nice to gloat about
our overwhelming success in spaceborne radar remote sensing and space
robotics. (I don't have much contact with the latter, but I have a
couple of sponsored research projects on the go in the spaceborne SAR
field so can speak with a tiny bit of insider perspective.) Our
space industry is just glad that we can be of assistance to our US and
European clients.
