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.
Ungh, sorry for double post...
