BC going Full Saskatchewan.

To be fair, the Super Hornet was being promoted as basically the same as a CF18 when it was under consideration. Every manufacturer will make every claim even remotely grounded in reality to try to close the deal.

CBC with a deep dive into James Bowie, based on law society complaints. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/rumours-about-lawyer-who-sexually-harassed-women-had-been-circulating-in-legal-community-for-years-docs-9.7057793
