Here we go again—another government second-guessing itself after already committing taxpayer money

If Canada doesn't want the F-35s, they should have figured that out before signing the deal instead of wasting resources on reviews and delays. Trade tensions or not, defense procurement should be based on military needs, not political posturing. Plus, relying on government contracts to prop up defense contractors just distorts the free market. If the F-35 is really the best option, it should stand on its own merits, not because of bureaucratic back-and-forth. At the end of the day, taxpayers in both Canada and the U.S. are the ones who get stuck with the bill for all this government inefficiency.
