Well additional planes of a seperate type are needed gripen is a poor choice. Great plane but it makes no long term sense. Buy it all from south korea, they have offered to build it here. Subs, IFV/Tanks and the block three 5.5gen kf-21. Even bolder idea. Create a domestic thrust vectoring engine for the kf-21.
@shandro Pretty sure a supreme court ruling on the fact they would have to exist.. what else do you need guaranteed? Its maintained or an agreement for Canada to maintain them has to exist for seperation to possibly happen. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
None of that is true. Seperation requires opening the constitution and amending it and negotiating what leaving looks like. If leaving is even the goal. Opening the constitution to negotiate a fair deal for Alberta within Canada may resolve the issues. But all of that is on the table during negotiations. Just like trade corridors etc.
American special forces can shoot lasers out of their eyes, control your mind at a glance and set off huge explosions with a strong fart. Their technology that discombobulates and dismembers is even hand held and with the use of their starwars satelliteโs can bring a continent to their knees.
@Garnet_2203 Have kids fed one maybe two meals per day via a school food programโฆ. Make sure Canadians can feed themselves three meals a day and on weekends. The first one is a great thought then second one is far more important.
I am excited for this one. I used etomidate as my primary induction agent prior to steroids and resuscitate first. Then ketamine as both have become a standard. I am geussing it will show small nuance but I think modern resus first and steroids in shock will make it pretty darn even with each having an overall area they do better in.
@POLITICOEurope Well I agree we need to create capacity within Canada to feed our own military complex. Aligning and building with the EU does nothing domestically and weakens both structures. We need domestic production and sales. Need to do what south korea and austrailia have done.
We would end up receiving block 2/3 kf21. Block 2 brings it to gen 5 block three brings it to gen 5.5. Its also a single engine and kf21 is a dual engine. We need to look at the next 20-30 years where the kf21 like the 35 is designed to work with the unmanned wingman programs and stay hidden.
Id like to see 50-60 gripens as well for their versatility in short runways and roads. But we need more then just the gripen.
Korea is also in the running for the subs(built in canada) with the code to alter them. Plus IFV, tank and mobile artillery production in Canada.
289 gun deaths in Canada 2023 only 24 were from a legally owned firearmโs almost all were preventable deaths from domestic violence.
51% of these total gun related deaths are due to gangs.
If you are not involved in gangs you are more likely to get struck by lightining in Canada then die from a firearm.
180 people are struck by lightning per year by comparison vs the remaining 144 gun deaths.
1800-1900 driving deaths per year in Canada more than a quarter are due to speed alone. Not even intentional or intoxication.
15000-18000 deaths due to alcohol per year
Trans Fats cause 14000

I love the idea of Jobs. But the Jobs cannot be conflated with the role and age of the two. The Gripen is a good plane but 35years old and only 4-4.5 Generation. The f35 is 10years old and a true 5th gen with stealth. The only offer we have been given that is nearly on Par with the f35 is from
The Koreanโs who offered the kf-21 and the same style of building package as the swedes. They are also offering to let us build our own submarines, IFVโs, Tanks and mobile artillery. Which is probably double to triple the Jobs and would make us non reliant on going across the sea or south of the border.
If the Liberals want to get the gripen but the 88 f-35 and then as part of our military expansion lets get a gripen fleet and expand our airforce.
@dergleen@LHubich 100% cause they knew it would be harder to justify s33 use. Thats how the ATA should have started. More inconvenient but not the economical
Impact. Worked well in Sask last year
