The F22 is first and foremost an air superiority fighter, but it can function as a limited ground attack fighter carrying the Small Diametor bomb or the JDAM but it dosen't carry air to ground missiles so its not as adaptable as the JSF, and Canada's philosophy especially with thier air force is to have one multi-role fighter thats decent at everything as oppossed to multiple different fighters that fulfill specific roles. Its cheaper to operate that way.
