Y’know what would really stick it to them 'Mericans? Expansion of social welfare programs that alleviate community dependency on US corporations. Imagine how mad they’d be when housing and post-secondary education is fully socialized and funded. That’d be some epic trolling, like, if we ensured that Canadians have the funds and material security to support internal investment and economic growth without forced use of American-owned services or products. Ooooh they’d be like: >:(
Jets though, sure, military sovereignty is super important when they don’t even have to invade your space to secure their interests.
What I don’t understand is: why are we changing one foreign manufacturer to be **** “dependent on another?” They could also pull out of Canada anytime they get a snit on, like the Americans. What is the advantage, other than getting even with trump? That’s my question???
F35s are useless in patrolling the Arctic, Gripens much better. No way Canada should be buying these from the US which is actively trying to annex it.
I am not an expert, but I thought the problem with the F-35’s patrolling the Arctic was that they’re single engine. Is there something else I’m missing?
The smart move is to wait for annexation and then get them for free.
Canada should propose buying F35s exclusively with wealth taxes. We’d see how quickly the op-eds would change their tunes.

The real headline:
Trump proves again to Canadians that Americans are unreliable partners, in trade, like in defense, costing US arms makers hundreds of billions. Can American ever be trusted again? Can America ever recover?
Trump taught the world they can’t be trusted. Canada isn’t snubbing the F35. Americans just lost their fucking minds and no one wants to do business with them.
