      Hey cousin!

      We just bought some over the horizon radar from you guys!

      Unfortunately we’re also contemplating buying some locked down F35s that are sure to be kill switched by the US when they decide that they want our resources. I think we need to accept that the F35s are not going to happen, and instead get the Gripens. At this point it’s seems like the height of stupidity to trust them, especially with our military hardware.

        Yeah, that combined with the big servicing challenges for the F35s really makes me think getting them isn’t the right move. For once the glacial pace of Canadian military procurement helped us.

            In this case we should consider that money spent determining how to avoid giving up our sovereignty.

            Hopefully we dodged a bullet.

            As is Canadian tradition. It is not even the biggest waste currently in military spending.

      You’re gonna need that submarine if you go to war with your biggest trading partner at the behest of America.
