Description
For two glorious days in June, Canada's capital hosted the largest defence and security exhibition in over two decades. This was the third year the CANSEC show was held at the Lansdowne Park facility in Ottawa, and the annual event continues to grow in terms of both exhibitors and attendees. As has become the custom, setup day on May 31, 2011 was capped by a number of well-attended corporate receptions that were held throughout the city. One of the most popular of these soirees was the RADS cocktail party held at the Empire Grill in the landmark Byward Market. As this coincided with one of the hottest and most humid days of the year so far, the packed throng at the reception overwhelmed the capacity of the Empire Grill's air conditioning system. As a result, ice cold beer became the beverage of choice for most of the sweltering patrons. Guests were also treated to the bizarre spectacle of former parliamentary secretary of defence, Laurie Hawn, seated outside the EADS reception room enjoying a "friendly" drink with his replacement in that post, newly elected MP Chris Alexander.
