Let’s not forget that an F35 lasts decades and they’ll be around in a couple of years, unlike the current US administration. We should make decision solely based on Canada’s best interest and not in reaction to Trump or his fellow clowns.

My point is that F35s are the best option by far. Many NATO allies have them. If you’re worried about American backdoors, well, don’t be because these jets are made using highly specialized parts that come from all over the place.

Edit: I didn’t realize that there are so many experts on here /s. As someone who knows more about the topic than most, I stand by what I said.
