Of course the RCMP launched an investigation after Alexander made his claims. That's their job. Doesn't mean there's anything to the allegations.

The Ottawa Citizen recently reported that the RCAF fleet of CH-148 Cyclone helicopters is not expected to be fully operational until 2029. For those doing the math, that is 25 years since these helicopters were first ordered back in 2004.

Threatening #NORAD over the #F35 is mob-boss diplomacy. Canada should call the bluff and pivot to @Saab's #Gripen + GlobalEye. Strategic independence matters—especially during Trump’s trade war. 🇨🇦✊

#F35's or forfeit sovereignty? That’s the message coming from Washington. Canada has options — and an opportunity to stand up to defence bullying, protect #NORAD on our terms, and strengthen our own #aerospace industry. Elbows up. 🇨🇦✈️

With #Canada in the sights of a second #Trump presidency, #CAF officials are reportedly war-gaming a hypothetical U.S. invasion. The uncomfortable question: what defence could Canada realistically mount?

The #CAF has announced an $18B investment in four new rotary-wing fleets for the# RCAF. The key questions now: how will this boost combat capability, and when will the aircraft be operational?

Canada plans an $18B investment in new military helicopters—attack, recon, special ops, and medium lift—reviving a balanced fleet for the Army. Big capability boost, but first deliveries aren’t expected until the 2030s. #CAF #RCAF
