I doubt it is that many and if it was it would still be cheaper to go with Russian hardware as Australia was going to pick up the F-35's anyway
Canada Ditches Super Hornet After Threats to Buy F-35 or Lose 10,000 Jobs

Perhaps something like this as we have been in so many dogfights in the last 50 years over the wilds of Canada. At least thia one would get your and back in a hurry.

Is a Secret Deal Underway for Russia's 1,616MPH Supersonic MIG-29M?

With an air force the size of Canada's, stealth is a waste. We want to look bigger than we are....

If we're going to be on the hook for patrolling an international Northwest Passage, we're better off investing in S&R aircraft. If Trump gets in, Free Trade's gone, so lets dust off Arrow plans, bring them up to snuff then say "screw 'em" and start our own industry.

Let's make Canada sensible again....

Trump being in control will be a good thing, it will be a time of recovery rather than further decline.

The reason I posted it is , since when does Boeing dictate to us what we will purchase and what we won't? Stall for a year and then it won't even be an issue.

Radar picks something up before the jets are sent anywhere, why not go with that and missiles and drones?
