I won't comment on this as it would reveal just how much I despise the current
Federal Government ( Oops........
)
Suffice to say the current minority government leans left and the further-to-the-left wing parties prop it up to a Majority wants nothing to do with the F-35 as reading that article will reveal as will this link

APPARENTLY......... "The purpose of these jets is to drop bombs and kill people."
Gee....
who knew?
These geniuses ignore the fact that "Canadian companies have secured more than US$2 billion in production and maintenance contracts" related to the F-35
That's the political aspect of it.
On the "practical" side one issue
that will always exist here is the perceived need for these types of aircraft to have two engines and the F-35 has one and that is a big issue
