Canada discreetly puts money down on 14 additional F-35s (www.cbc.ca)

Ottawa has started to make payments for key components for 14 additional U.S.-built F-35s, even as the Carney government has been reviewing future fighter-jet purchases in the context of trade tensions with Washington, sources have told CBC News.

The money for these 14 aircraft is in addition to the contract for a first order of 16 F-35s, which will start being delivered to the Canadian Armed Forces at the end of the year.

According to sources, the new expenses are related to the purchase of so-called “long-lead items,” which are parts that must be ordered well in advance of the delivery of a fully assembled aircraft.

Canada had to make these expenditures to maintain its place in the long-term delivery schedule and avoid being replaced by other buyers in the queue, sources said.

I've been downvoted here a couple times for pointing out just that: Here is just one example. Please feel free to browse my profile history.

While lurking I still see on Canadian reddit city subs people recommending LinkedIn, Indeed, Moving to the US for work, etc. I would argue even online most are still deluded, let alone real life who are still voting these authoritarian neo-libs.

I know it's hard to believe but the majority of Canadians are traitors just as much as these 15% of Albertans who are seperatist. Grow a pair and delete all your American profiles, divest out of S&P500, protest the government to divest CPP and other hundreds of billions out of the US, but most won't do even one of those because actions speak louder than words, and that's just too much work for most Canadians. This will get much, much worse, before it even starts to get better.
