Screw it. At this point lets just make a fleet of Canadian designed single use death drones.
40 000 of them. They don't even have to be that good. I doubt we would ever have to fly them.
Just push the world around politically based on the fear of the sky darkening from a sunrise to sunset swarm of black death and sadness 'Kamakasi Maple Syrup Armageddon Sky Monsters'.
But seriously, maybe as a small first world nation, we should be thinking outside the box on this one. Even if we got our 88 F-35s, it would be a drop in the bucket compared to the big dogs of the world. If we are going to use the military as a symbol of our sovereignty, why not a made in Canada solution? With all that has been spent already....
Sorry about the frustrated derail. At this point, I would look up at our new fleet of wooden biplanes, shrug, and say 'ok'.
