Promises of Canadian independence from US influence are unravelling as the Carney government moves forward with the costly F-35 fighter jet purchase. Amid rising global tensions and domestic crises, Owen Schalk warns these decisions will deepen Washington’s control, divert resources from urgent social and environmental needs, and signal a troubling continuity in foreign policy.
We have never made our own jets. We’re not gonna start now. Buying American is waaay more cost effective, and that’s what Canadians want.
Nah you don’t speak for Canadians.
I think the debate on the F35 is a bit more encompassing than just going with the “best value” option there.
