MANILA, Philippines — Months after he ordered a $233-million helicopter deal with a Canadian company cancelled, President Rodrigo Duterte is still angry at Canada over the botched deal. In a speech before the Filipino community in South Korea Sunday, Duterte once again said Canada was "stupid" for raising concerns that the helicopters would be used against rebels. "We ordered Bell helicopters from Canada. They said they will deliver the Bell helicopters but you cannot use [them] against your own citizen," Duterte said. Duterte first called Canada “stupid” over the helicopter deal last March.
