Lockheed is flexing their protection money racket. Canada choosing another fighter will result in losing $825M in contracts for Canadian Aerospace and probably a lot of opportunities to work on cutting edge technologies.
That's not unepected as Canada was part of the development of the F-35 and part of the purchase was in the benefits to the Canadian Aerospace industry. If Canada walks away of course they're going to lose their contracts, it was part of the incentive to buy and a unique part of the deal.
