"A member of the PCO staff has again asked if CC150001 can be designated a VIP-only AC (aircraft) and be repainted in the GoC (Government of Canada) colours by June," says another internal document.
The staff were asking for a new paint job to be completed by June 10 last year, apparently to spruce up the aircraft in time for the G8 and G20 summits later that month in Huntsville, Ont., and Toronto.
MacKay's office again rejected the request, on April 15 last year, but the prime minister's staff persisted.

The man who would be President
Stephen Harper wants his own permanent prime ministerial widebody transport aircraft. This ain't no Challenger VIP but a dual use CC150 (Airbus), which can serve as a troop transport and as VIP aircraft.

I find it disgusting that Harpie impugns the patriotism of Michael Ignatieff, while he himself worships at the feet of everything American and Presidential.
Be disgusted at the people who buy what he's selling about Ignatieff *and all the other Canadians who dare to spend much of their working lives abroad.
Before he became PM, did Harper travel anywhere outside of Canada that wasn't the US? And when he was in the US, was he ever saying anything complimentary about Canada?
