Another reason to consider other options and to keep our procurement of F-35โs to a minimum to meet contractual obligations.

Canada has fully joined the U.S. missile defence program Golden Dome, which aims to stop nuclear missiles. Our Navy will integrate with U.S. forces, but quick reaction times may force Canada to give up control of weaponsโpossibly even to AI. Big questions about sovereignty here. ๐๐ฑ

The Canadian military recommends proceeding with the purchase of 88 U.S.-built F-35s, consistent with their original selection of the fighter. The Canadian Forces have not commented on the status of the F-35 review ordered by PM Carney. โ๏ธ๐๐

"Skyrocketing costs, pilot shortage and infrastructure deficit"
CBC's Peter Zimonjic reveals Auditor General Karen Hogan's devastating assessment of Canada's $27.7 billion fighter jet program.
The numbers are brutal.
#F35 #CDNdefence
Canadaโs early #NATO spending boost reflects a tough stance on sovereignty and security. Prioritizing tech, Arctic defence, and vets, itโs about reducing reliance on others while fuelling domestic industry. Much needed in a more volatile world.๐จ๐ฆ๐ช

PM Carney to announce plan to hit NATOโs 2% GDP defence target by March. Key moves: new defence industrial strategy, buying drones, armoured vehicles, Arctic surveillance gear, folding Coast Guard into DND, and a military pay raise. ๐จ๐ฆ aims to join major European buildup by July.
#NATO #cdndefence
PM Mark Carney speaks today on ๐จ๐ฆ defence amid NATO pressure to raise spending to 5% of GDP. Canada hasnโt met the 2% target since 2006, hitting 1.45% in 2024. Balancing alliance commitments while protecting ๐จ๐ฆ sovereignty will be key at this monthโs #NATO summit.

Ever the reality TV prez, Trump loves grand reveals. Now he claims ๐จ๐ฆ wants in on his $175B โGolden Domeโ missile shield. No word from Ottawa. ๐จ๐ฆ tracks threats via NORAD, but never joined U.S. missile defence. Until our PM confirms, Iโm not buying it.

Hopeful! ๐จ๐ฆ๐ช
