They’re just butt-hurt that Canada isn’t spending the extra money on US weapons. This whole “military spending” thing is nothing but a shakedown to get allies to increase weapons purchases from US manufacturers.
Everyone is united in that view. Giving Carney the benefit of the doubt, I think he is ragging the puck before making it formal that we are withdrawing our pre-existing order for 16 F35s with the Americans
Unfortunately, I think most of the new military spending that brings our total to the 2% of GDP target is going to American manufacturers. I get the feeling that Carney doesn’t want to upset the status quo too much, despite the talk. I think he still counts on a path back to the way things were, just maybe on a longer timeline.

And Canada is buying gripens not f35s so the US can go pound sand.
Buying f35s now is insane why would you buy war planes from a rabid dog who probably built a backdoor in

I remember reading in somewhat recent news that Israel is buying them, but they hold the leash of that rabid dog after all
It would be idiocy
Canada did not cancel any f-35 contracts yet
We’d better.
It would lose us billions.
Better to lose money, then have a worthless plane.

Yep. Go German instead imo
Also SK and there are many small arms from other European countries that are solid
Canada has a lot of weapons components manufacturing.
