And Canada seriously (and for good reason) considering militarizing our northern/their southern border. We're run by abject morons (see the Signal Corps running our military and lying to Congress while knowing full well the reporter has receipts). A 100+ year relationship being destroyed.
Carney is now reviewing Canada's F-35 order. They'd be fools to buy from us.
- senderista 2y agoCarney just needs to leverage the fuck out of that contract instead of tearing it up outright. The defense lobby will always have the ear of the GOP.
- lawn 2y agoTrump has already torpedoed any international trust in the world (maybe except for Israel). We'll see how much leverage the defense lobby has, but so far it doesn't seem like they have any sway at all.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoUnfortunately the F35 thing is similar to many other things that are unfortunate about this relationship. We'd be a fool to buy them, but we will be absolutely punished if we don't. Last time this was under question Bombardier -- one of our largest companies, and employers -- started to "suddenly" lose contracts in the US and the Canadian gov't backpedaled (for other reasons as well) and went ahead with the F35. They're worried that will happen again That and so much money and time have already been invested on this, and the alternatives are not super compelling.
