  1. Am I the only one that finds it weird that they went out of their way to specifically call for one alternative?

    >As a firm based in Sweden, a dependable NATO partner, Saab provides Canada with a stable, predictable source of defence co-operation — two middle powers fulfilling Mr. Carney’s stated goals.”

    A political party praising this random foreign company, and demanding we sole-source this contract exclusively with them is downright weird.

    Why do people keep shilling the Gripen? Lovely aircraft, but if you really want to beef up Canada’s military, then the F-35 is the obvious choice. 

    If you match the two aircraft up in aerial combat, it’s no contest. The F-35 can kill the Gripen well before it’s in visual range
