...reasons rooted in economy as well as military necessity, Diefenbaker called off development of the CF-105 Arrow, a 1,500-m.p.h. interceptor designed and test-flown by Toronto's A. V. Roe Canada Ltd. Instead of the Arrow, whose production abort will cost the Canadian taxpayers some $500 million all told, Canada will rely for antibomber defense during the next few years on U.S.-built Bomarc missiles. Canada will share the cost of launching sites with the U.S., control them jointly through the North American Air Defense Command. Later, NORAD-controlled U.S. fighters may be stationed in Canadian...

...defense planning. The R.C.A.F. will gradually eliminate the nine jet squadrons that now guard the continent's northern frontier, replace them with radar-guided Bomarc missiles built in the U.S. Into the discard: Canada's pride and joy, the big, 1,500-m.p.h. Avro CF-105 Arrow interceptor, which cost $303 million to develop, has been in flight-test for six months...
...news struck the nation like a sonic boom. Canada had worked long and hard since 1945 to build up its own jet aircraft industry, hoped to hit the big time with its swift CF-105, possibly even sell some to the U.S. Air Force. High costs and the missile age made it impossible. To equip the R.C.A.F. with Arrows would cost something like $2 billion, and the first operational models would not be in service until 1961. A better bet was to spend the money on a setup like the U.S.'s SAGE system: improved DEW-line radar, electronic...
