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 would actually say go ahead with the limited purchase. Then use the F-35 as aggressor aircraft in training that way we know how to fight them.
