At this point, the only commitment is to buy 16 F-35s. Mark Carney will be making the final decision on whether to proceed with purchases of another 72 of the stealth fighters.

The F-35 is a poison pill for Canadian defence sovereignty against a hostile America. We cannot win against an invasion, but with the Gripen we can make it a phyrric victory for them.

    I sometimes point to the F35 sales as an example of what it means to be an America ally, as China would never sell this level of weaponry to anybody.

    It is amazing how fast Trump is dismantling the partnerships that helped maintain peace.
