It does have a few capabilities that would make it (unlike the F-35) quite useful in Canada or Australia.
Twin engines: lose one and you should be able to nurse the plane home.
Awesome range: Canada and Australia have long borders to patrol and as a tandem seater allows for a pilot and spotter. A very cost efficient platform compared to the P-8 which probably costs similar to the E-7 to operate. (45k/hour)
Unmanned: They plan to offer an unmanned version which could give you far more range than a Reaper.
