Eurojet (I hope I'm right this time) can't use the weapons that Canada has standardized out. We would be dependent on their supply chain.
The Gripen is a multi-role fighter that doesn't do any of the roles particularly well.
The reviews of the plane including its sensor suite and performance are sub par.
I'm disappointed with the F-35. If it was producing as advertised there's no question that its the best possible choice. Lockheed Martin is in big trouble with this jet.
