Not sure. These are the only type of its kind. It has capabilities other jets don't have and they work together with other F35s and defense systems.

I know this US ambassador is an a-hole, and he tends to shoot his mouth like Trump. However. After reading the article, it isn't as bad as the headline implies. Sending their jets isn't as a threat, but what the ambassador is saying is that more F-35s are needed to fill in whatever security roles it plays in their defensive strategy if Canada buys something else. In the event of some other jets we're using, they would have to alter NORAD in order to allow more US F-35 jets to patrol the skies over Canada.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promoted the idea of the province of Alberta voting to exit Canada as his boss lusts for U.S. expansion.

The top Trump officials leaned into “rumors” during an interview on the right-wing streaming channel Real America’s Voice.

“Alberta’s a natural partner for the U.S. They have great resources. The Albertans are very independent people,” Bessent said. “Rumor is they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.”

Sen. Peter Boehm, a former diplomat, told CBC's Power & Politics that Carney's remarks were the "most consequential" delivered by a Canadian prime minister since Louis St. Laurent — minister responsible external affairs at the time — laid out Canada's post-Second World War foreign policy direction in 1947.

Louise Blais, a former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations, told Power & Politics that she thinks Carney is attempting to position Canada as a leader among the middle powers.

What do you mean TACO aren't they striking Ukraine daily? TACO are you announcing that Russia and Ukraine are at war?

China and Vietnam are producing a lot of the low cost every day items people use. It's going to hit the lower income people the hardest. Thank goodness I'm in Canada.

They need to fire the leaders of Democratic party. Find new blood and new direction. Swing to the right didn't help them.

What kind of exploitative capitalism do we have in Canada? And how is this allowed? This is utterly ridiculous!

What a piece of shit. And this guy was running US foreign policy? Wow. Saudis must be regretting paying this man $40m a year to manage their billions.

Funny thing is this kind of behaviour isn't unique to Musk. A lot of entrepreneurs and CEOs seem to have similar kind of attitude. They want everything done cheaper faster and there's no 2 ways about it. It's their way or highway. If shit goes to hell it's other people's heads that roll.
