I'm also pissed off with the purchase of used fighter jets from Australia. We are a first world country, it just seems unacceptable.
With that said, I want to know the final price that we paid for these 18 jets to tie us over. Ill reserve most of my judgements until then.
However I do feel like the positive we will gain out of this is Canada will seriously look at the European competitors to the F-35. I have no fighter jet knowledge, but from the research I gathered the Saab Gripen and Dassault Rafale/Eurofighter look like worthy options for Canada's needs.
If after all this and we still end up buying a full fleet of F-35's, I am just going to shake my head at our government.
