Because Canada is made up of a bunch of beta males like weedman.

Because the F-35 is overpriced garbage which is COMPLETELY useless for us.

Even the Super Hornets are mostly useless, but at least it will appease delusional idiots who think Canada's air force is somehow relevant for only a fraction of the cost of the original F-35 order that the Tories wanted to make.

>the F-35 is overpriced garbage
untrue

Because its expensive as fuck and only has a single engine.

kek

Agree, why are you involved in foreing wars anyway?

We spent all the money on refugees instead

There's over a billion Muslims on this planet and they aren't all going to kill themselves.

>burying more money in the F-35 meme
maybe you shouldnt give lockheed that much cash and let them invest themselves instead of literally burning money for them with no limits ?

Fair point but
Even trubo prop planes can kill them

Then you have to buy new planes when it's time to kill all the Chinese.

Because our politicians don't give a FUCK about our military and haven't for several decades

We will, Eurofighters or Gripens most likely

>flying planes made by communist homosexuals
No thank you.

Nigga what do we need high tech stealth planes for when it comes to bombing sand monkeys? A bomb from shitheap will do the same as from a space shuttle, they're down there we're up here.

Why not F-16 then?

We got many, they're ok but it was retarded to do so and probably is retarded to do so for Canada. For us light vehicles that have long-range capability (in travel distance) and that are good for paroling are the most important. We have fuck all tanks because they're basically useless for us. Supposedly we also had to buy refueling jets to actually be able to effectively patrol and defend our land using the F-35s. Not a good idea at all when they're better, cheaper options.

*there are

because we are poor.

I imagine they basically shoved down their throats the plane.

>Amerilards still promoting a scamjet program that even Trump is already planning to scrap

He can't scrap it. Unless he plans to sell the F-22 to Izrael.
Buy more Gripens btw.

He's definitely going to try to cut funding.

It's so garbage they only plan to use it as an export plane so they can better fuck over their allies if ever Australia or Israel switches sides.

>Buy more Gripens btw.

Mah nigga.

But Trump is still the best because I'm a braindead poltard.

Because Trudeau made an irrational promise as an appeal to voter emotion, and now backing down would make him look dumb.

It's no skin off our back, of course. They're keeping the Super Hornet line alive which is important for exports, and since the Super Hornet will be useless in 15 years even if still airworthy, we can look forward to yet more purchases, this time of the F-35, once the Super Hornet is obsolete.
It's great for us, dumb for them.

They should've built F22 instead of the F35 desu. The actual argument that they were supposed to be cheaper doesn't hit anymore.

But they are cheaper.

kek, at this point there's a better chance we will actually get planes, if ever, from actual comunists

Get it through your head man, the US is not a friend or an ally. They mean us harm over their dumb fuck delussional grievances and they've chosen leadership that cannot be reasoned with precissely because their demands, for starters, are beyond the pale of what's reasonable.

The one certain thing is a reckoning is coming for all of us.

>buying chink shit

Mexico we expected more from you.

Except you don't produce anything that doesn't incorporate American engines/systems (eg your gripens) meaning the US can block the sale of any of that. Personally I'm all for waiting until Trump pisses Putin off and the Russians get an apetite for moving against the US. In the meantime the chinese deal are a lifeline.

In all fairness japan and korea have it bad as well so who knows on which side each of us will end up.

I don't think Trump would veto sales for Mexico.

That'd be retarded.

still better than flying jewish trick

Like his opinion matters.
he doesn't know shit about jet production. All he cares is about attention.

Because we're fucking retarded when it comes to our military. shit you would tkae as common sense to have like ATGM's we're starting to bring back now. no surface to air defenses. we fucked

>t. 12 year old
f-35's can't fly.

We're talking about trump m8

> le ebin F-35

The F-35 is like the Palatul Parlamentului of Bucharest, it is a massive budget drain with no practical purpose but to make some rich people with the right connections even richer. However, at this point and after 12 orders of magnitude in dollars have been squandered, it's better to complete the project than cancel it and admit that it was a failure from the start. Just like it was cheaper and easier to finish the Palace of Bucharest than to dismantle it.
