You’re missing the point. If we want to be partners in NOARD and defend North America with the US then we need to cooperate. If not, they will fight any incursion where ever the hell the want; including levelling Montreal. We could cry at that point that that it isn’t fair, but the only...
Perhaps we didn’t get the probe and drogue installed on our F-35s, likely due to our hurried buying schedule, so need a full tanker. Larger interceptor in CFB Comox, or Greenwood, instead 1950s thinking behind CFB Cold Lake.More pressure from the Americans to play a reasonable role in coastal...

They should have thought of that before the CMMA was going to be released. And the government wasn’t exactly cryptic in the launching of the program.
