If the Conservatives had a majority, I could see them eying this sale, but with a minority they won't touch it, just from the optics it would give the Libs and the NDP a chance to paint them as heartless warmongers, complete with youtube video of people getting blasted on the thermals.
It certainly would change the direction of the Air force and we would likely have to ditch most of the Griffions to find the people to fly and fix them.
