So the United States "ambassador" to Canada has threatened Canada that if we do not buy the F35 fighter jet, the US will invade our airspace any time they please. And this, folks, is EXACTLY WHY we should not buy the F35. Canada doesn't deal with extortionists!

Wow! Long video but worth the watch. And man can that guy fly! #GripenForCanada

While we're at it, we should be scrapping the F-35 and leaning into the Gripen. If Trump's "28 Point Plan" for Ukraine is any scale to measure American integrity, they've lost the moral high ground.

Itβs not too late. Your government can still pivot from the previous commitment. Cancel the remaining F-35s. Let's build the 2-seat Gripen F here at home. Secure our sovereignty, create jobs, and equip the RCAF long into the future. #GripenOclock #RCAF #cdnpoli #GripenForCanada
The Gripen F offers a seamless transition from the two-seat CF-18, preserving RCAF crew doctrine and enhancing combat and training effectiveness. Itβs a better operational fit than forcing only a single-seat solution. A mix like Brazil works for Canada too #GripenOclock #GripenForCanada #RCAF
The game has changed. Brazil worked with Sweden to create the Gripen F: a 2-seat version. This advanced jet didn't exist when Canada last looked. Itβs available now. #GripenOclock #GripenForCanada #cdnpoli #aerospace
Remember the Avro Arrow. Let's not abandon our aerospace sovereignty again. Building the Gripen in Canada is your first real nation-building project. #GripenOclock #AvroArrow #GripenForCanada #CdnTech
The Gripen is purpose-built for what Canada needs: operating from dispersed, harsh-weather bases with minimal support crew. Itβs a rugged, reliable NORAD defender. #GripenOclock #GripenForCanada #NORAD #RCAF
The alternative? The Saab Gripen E. Even better, the new Brazilian variant two-seater Gripen F. A proven, high-performance, multi-role fighter that's more affordable to buy and operate, freeing up billions for other priorities. Let's look at the real numbers. #GripenOclock #GripenForCanada #cdnpoli
Is the contract final? Your new government has an opportunity to revisit the F-35 deal. There is a smarter, more Canadian choice that builds our aerospace sector at home and better serves our strategic needs. #GripenOclock #cdnpoli #RCAF #GripenForCanada

What the Americans don't understand is that the trust much of the world had in you is gone. Even after Trump leaves what is stopping some future lunatic you elect doing as Trump does? IMO Gripen from Sweden is a better idea anyway! #GripenForCanada #CanadaStrong ππͺ
