The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

I have a feeling it's because we are all collectively being set up for WW3 here... (or if the GWOT was WW3, then the next mass culling)
We read Russian and Chinese mail. Neither respect anything but their opponents strength and will take a mile if given an inch.

The west seems quite poised to start a fight with Russia, with the UK being quite open that it is trying to actively prepare for such a fight.
Not to start, but to finish a fight Russia has already started.
But such a crazy time to be a young adult & joining the military today. These kids will have kit come online (like the RCD) and just won't be able to appreciate how stuff ever got done without it
Generations of Canadians and Europeans enjoyed the ‘peace dividend’ unfortunately that enjoyment was exceedingly premature.

If Canada and Europe had kept to 2% following the wall, I suspect the world would be a much different place.

Trump was right about a lot of things, however he’s acting a fool now, and pissing away any possible goodwill.


I hope Canada gets at least 88 F-35, not because they are American, but because I think they are the best choice currently, other than a F-15EX, and F-35 split, but I think that split even if say 66 of each the drain on the RCAF will be enormous, and take a lot longer to recover from.
