The Eurofighter is a very capable fighter, essentially 4.5 generation, highly maneuverable and has stealth characteristics. Came in second (really only in price) to the Rafale in the Indian MRCA competition.
It has been produced in high numbers and should be a good aircraft for the Canadian Forces. If they want a heavier aircraft get the Super Hornet, which is essentially a new airframe, but with enough commonality with the esiting CF-18's so as to make the transition easier.
