Given Trudeau's spending priorities, guess it's going to be bad news for all possible vendors, not just Lockheed Martin.

Just last month, Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau made it clear that he intends to scrap the F-35 program all together

Maybe some F-22's?..................

Trudeau will endeavour to buy whatever Charles DeGaulle flew.

We will immediately launch an open and transparent competition to replace the CF-18 fighter aircraft. The primary mission of our fighter aircraft should remain the defense of North America, not stealth first-strike capability.

In that case, he should just buy some old F-4 Phantoms and put a 1.5 G operational limit on them. There are very, very few aircraft that have the range to attack Canada from Europe or Asia and none of them are fighters. F-104s and F-106s are also good options. Not a lot of training will be required, so he can have them haul the mail as well.

I'll give Canada 20 years before it follows NZ and decides that it doesn't need a military at all. The evil U.S. will protect them.

I don’t agree with JT (can’t even type his name) about much, but this is one positive that can result from the election. The F-35 is not the plane for Canada. Buy Super Hornets instead. They will be adequate to protect North American airspace.

65 aircraft...

It will cause some disturbance in the force, but it's Canada's decision. They voted for this government.

But the real story here is the purported "open competition"...this means years of competition, arguing, bickering, bribing, etc. before a decision is ever arrived at, let alone taking delivery of new aircraft. In the meantime, Canada's military capability continues to degrade.

The guy is a socialist through and through...talk is cheap and that is about all socialists do when it comes to defense.

Godspeed good, conservative Canadians...I wish you the best in enduring the next few years.

Ending the F-35 program may hurt Lockheed, but Boeing would stand to make a LOT of money selling a potential successor to the F-18E Super Hornet, possibly with an uprated F404 engine and much of the avionics from the F-35. And both the Eurofighter consortium and Dassault will benefit because former F-35 customers will now seriously look at buying the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Dassault Rafale fighters.

All of Trudeau’s promissory budget is committed to buying colored glass beads for Canadians. There will be no money used for Canada’s defence. Putin loves Trudeau and is preparing to walk in through Canada’s Northern gateway.

not to take this off topic, but Trudeau also has made it clear he is going for global warming regulations big time- Canadians will find out very quickly what a terrible mistake they made at the polls when their bills skyrocket for everything-

Enjoy your newly elected Canada

Now back to the discussion at hand-

The most pressing bad news for the F-35 would be the F-35 itself.
