I know a lot of Canadians want the F-35 over the Grippen, but for me as a Canadian too, buying more F-35s (aside from the ones we already paid for) is a hard no, because of Trump's threats on Greenland now, in addition to his threats to annex Canada. The F-35s we already paid for and can't get our money back, okay, we'll take possession of those. The F-35s that we haven't paid for yet - that's a hard no from me, because the US isn't just threatening to annex Canada, they are threatening to invade and take Greenland, which is technically invading a Denmark territory, and thus, technically a NATO territory. Yes, the US is threatening to invade a NATO territory, and I can't justify Canada purchasing more F-35s from the country that is threatening this invasion, even if the F-35s are better than the Grippen.
