      One of those things where a massive company with a blank check from the US government can afford multiple failures and keep chugging until it hits gold, while a smaller company contracting out for the more resource-limited Canadian government hits one dud and goes under permanently.

      All-in-all, it’s not like Canada has a great need for military interceptors, but I love seeing the diversity of design and ideas.
