Depends on the question. We’ve already paid for 16 of the F-35s, and we’d just be throwing money away if we totally scrapped the program. Plus F-35 is the most advanced of what’s available.
I think we need to de-risk our armed forces, but trying to to keep relying on CF-18s that we know are unreliable vs. F-35 that might be unreliable is pretty clearcut. What I am less unsure of is how many F-35 we should continue with. 16 seems obvious. How many more? What would we get as a substitute? Should we look at GCAP or FCAS instead of or in addition to any of the above questions? Typhoon? Gripen?
So if the question was should we buy any F-35, I would be a yes. Should we buy 88 F-35, I’m a no.
Who are the other 4, I mean seriously?
They are openly bragging about how they will deliver crippled planes in case they decide to attack them later.
This should be 100% of Canadians. I can only hope a large chunk of the 38% are just completely ignorant about current events
