A full-scale model. Why not? Perfect for Canada's 100th anniversary as a country of air flight.
That was, believe it or not, in 1958. Perhaps you recognize some design cues in it which remind you of the best air superiority fighters/interceptors in service today.
It particularly, from some angles, reminds me of some Dassault Mirages, some MiGs (particularly the MiG-25 and untouchable MiG-31), and even the brand-new, state-of-the-art EuroFighter 2000 Typhoon.
It was obviously so great, so revolutionary, that it was widely copied, more or less.
