I would imagine that the JEF will be much akin to the AMF(L) or ARRC committments, which we have made in the past. Both provided a mission thread and theatre to focus training and commitments. I was part of AMF(L) in 3 VP, and part of the Lead Mechanised Battlegroup of the ARRC in 1 RGJ. 1st Can Div HQ frequently trained with the ARRC.

Because after Brexit, they were no longer welcome in EU formations such as the EuroCorps. This gets them bacj in the "Defence of the EU" game, and tied to a specific strategic problem

NATO means US leadership. The JEF is under Brit leadership, comprised of European TCNs.
The Brits are being spurned by the US, and is no longer part of the EU. They have lost a lot of relevance for a P5 Nation.....whose nuclear capability is subject to US control.
So they have to decide if they want to be part of a branch plant with no real say, or build their own company?

Well, one of the things you learn in Ottawa is that NATO is very limiting in what can be done in it's framework. For example, if we want weather products from our NATO allies, we need to be on a NATO operation. A Canadian ship sailing around Europe can't just get access to NATO weather services, unless it is chopped into a NATO TG. So we have agreements with the UK and Germany to share weather data.
If we are that difficult about weather, we are even more difficult on other topics. That's why JEF, NORAD, etc., exist.

An organisation dominated by Europeans is heavily bureaucratic?

Ironically, so bureaucratic that the country who invented the term 'red tape' found it all too onerous and left in a huff...

If by huff you mean delusional mass psychosis responding to a question that didn't need to be asked, without bothering to understand any element of the problem, then huff it is.
Otherwise, they are sitting in a hole they dug nursing the foot they shot.

For what it’s worth, David Cameron is really, really sorry about how it all played out…
David Cameron Is Sorry. Really, Really Sorry. (Published 2019)
The former British prime minister, David Cameron, a self-described “doubter and worrier and niggler,” is sorry about a lot of things, but most of all about Brexit.

I was speaking to how the Liberals can approve it regardless of the debate or votes by other parties in Parliament.
Unless you think Canadians will get an individual opportunity to vote.

No promise the cost of air travel won't go up. At least he's being honest.

Mind you, partial regulation doesn't sound too reassuring.
Transport minister won’t guarantee prices won’t go up after airport privatization, promises fees will be ‘partially regulated’

Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon won’t guarantee the cost to fly won’t go up for travellers if the federal government follows through on its plan to privatize Canada’s four largest airports but does promise an improved experience and partial regulation.
