Not entirely true. We wouldn't be able to ramp up design/testing but we would have no problem building. The F-35's that Canada buys could easily be built in country, it's simple assembly line work. The problem with Canada is we don't have the resources to start design from scratch, at least not something that could complete with an F-35.
