The F-35 is a poison pill for Canadian defence sovereignty against a hostile America. We cannot win against an invasion, but with the Gripen we can make it a phyrric victory for them.

Having an effective deterrent to being invaded seems like a pretty positive outcome.
I’ve been to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Nothing will ever convince me that nuclear weapons are a good idea. It’s a weapon of cowards every single time.
If nobody could have them, that would be ideal. But they do, so having them is better than not having them.
No point in continuing this conversation it appears. It’s how the yanks think. More and bigger guns always better. We’re better than that.
It isn’t about being better or worse, that’s not even relevant, it’s about having something that effectively protects us from American aggression. Your moral superiority won’t protect you from soldiers with guns anymore than they do Americans form ICE. Nukes will.
