I can't see Canada changing to the boom configuration.
I could see them using boom capability for the F-35, it's something they've considered in the past just for refuelling allies.

You both misunderstood my post

Of course they're morons for taking almost 10 years to make a decision most experts could have made in 10 weeks, as is Canadian tradition. I'm just glad they came around rather than force through a sub-par option to not break their 'no f-35' promise. We mostly have Boeing to thank for that, I'm sure. I'm just happy whenever we arrive at the correct result, no matter how we get here, because more often than not that's not the case
