I am also of the opinion that purchasing fighters in this day in age is not the best choice. unmanned fighters and drones are much more economical and make much more sense against the types of threats and theatres that Canada engages in.

Any conflict in which Canada will absolutely require some kind of super-sonic air superiority fighter will be against 5th generational craft from Russia and China which would probably stomp over JSFs.
