Again Canadian tax payers lost 100s of millions due to bad decision of liberal . If was cancelled by 2015 end up we paid for maintenance of outdated jets for years and delayed acquire of proper jet to defend our country.
Why upgrade 4th gen fighter jets when you can have the best plane in the world currently? 6th gens are already in the works. Canadas military has been a joke since the so called “dark years of the forces” time to change that
Conservatives spent a billion building a lake in Muskoka… at least these fly around and do stuff…
@Cal Depen a billion? It was 2 million…3 too many zeros. You’re probably confused with the Liberals’ gun registry…oh wait….that was 2 billion
Yeah , Trudeau “we will never buy F 35’s”
What has happened since then?
A little to late for these fighter jets
25 years…lol
Better late than never. Took way too long though.
$500 per citizen. Hope we each get to write our names on the planes as souvenirs for our enemies when the planes strafe them.
Lmfao they can’t even afford diesel.
And their grabbing f35s
Does the F35s jet runs on lithium batteries?
I heard rainbows and farts
@Jonathan Gould I think it runs on Trudeau’s liquid arrogance.
@RagingAzian
You’re both right.
So hold on there. Conservatives had committed to buy that same plane which was scrapped by Trudenot when he accessed the Throne. We paid tons of penalties and are still dealing with the outcome of delaying the procurement project. Now that we are finally pressured by our allies for slacking off for a decade , we are going back to buy the same planes at higher price?
Much higher. Gotta love inflation eh?
Yep, but now we pay more.
Yes sir. Nothing to see here. 😮
Is this the ones PM Harper was getting? The ones Justin campaigned on cancelling?
The very same
8 years late…. Harper was right..
It’s about time but sadly in the heels of outrageous liberal debt. We are paying as much to service the debt as these planes will cost.
Are they going to be electric… 🤣
And old one will send to Ukraine. Right?. This is a reason why they want to buy a new one.
LoL
“We will spend 19Billion dollars…. Then we’ll blame the next party in power for the outrageous spending (again) because that’s what we as the LIEberals do”
What are these going to be used for?
Coulda had at least half the fleet of planes already if they just went with them 12 years ago.
88 F35 ok but we need less F35s say 48 then 20 New F16 and new Warthog’s and Bayraktor Drones. Eh
Hamilton Ontario! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 F35 👍 Go Leafs Go Blue Jays Go Ti-Cats
So Zelensky wants F35s now?
Trudeau spent the money that was supposed to buy F35S for our defence, i hope its not to late, as our world is in deep rite now, i would say Canada should spend 10 TIMES as much, and build all our equipment at home, rite here at home, and 1 more thing, are they carbon neutral.
How are the jets going to operate with zero emissions mandated ?
Ha you think defense worries about emissions ? Think again.
