Swedish Gripen is designed for arctic conditions, integrated with NATO/US systems, and can be built in Canada. It's not stealth, but it is cheaper and Sweden will share their technology with us, unlike our neighbours to the south. More importantly, it can NOT be electronically locked-out at the whim of a MAGA dicktator. Gripens are a better choice for the RCAF.
Canada should not spend one red cent in the U.S.A. go with Sweden
Cancel the Damn contract !!!! Buy from friendly Sweden !!!!
Why was Canada even remotely considering buying that overpriced POS from us?
Never purchase critical equipment from a potential aggressor.
Canada should drop the F35 and instead by the Saab Gripen.
Go with the Gripen
no money to the USA.
I’ve read that Canada, Portugal and Switzerland are reconsidering buying weapons from the US. And Turkey is now buying from the UK.
Canada should build their own aircrafts.
This not just Tariffs but Trump's support of Russia!
Russia and Israel ? Are you drunk ?
Please, PM Carney - Cancel the F35 deal. trump backs out of contracts all the time...give him some of the same. The Gripen is designed for arctic use, and is better suited to what Canada needs.
Cancel, Trump will get pissed one day and: - remotely disable on the ground - remotely disable in the air - refuse to provide armaments - refuse to supply parts - refuse to provide upgrades - other dumb sh*t
Buy Swedish,dump Trump
Canada has a right to cancel the F-35 but before shooting yourselves in the foot, perhaps re-read the "Terminations Clause" of your Contract. And maybe ask Pakistan how that worked out for them on their F-16 Procurement. It's not just the 18 Aircraft built to date, it's also all "Work In Process" that will be owed and all the "Terminations" that will ripple down the entire Supply chain Worldwide. Gets very, very expensive and in the end, Canada won't have much budget left over to buy replacements ... and probably won't be getting Spares/Tech info from the USA for those aircraft you have. But as I said, up to Ottawa to decide.
We (Canada) were extorted into buying F35s by the US because they required interoperability with our airforce and that of the US. Well, now that the US is an adversary, it is a huge security risk for us to have F35s. We cannot risk acquiring aircraft that are essentially controlled by the US military. We need aircraft more relevant to us.
Don’t sell Canada. Nothing let them fend for themselves and let Sweden defend them.
Cancel it
