There are increasing rumours and reports that two things are happening with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
1) that the Snowbirds may be replaced or cancelled.
2) that a decision is imminent on the F35 or split Gripen fighter fleet.
This “long shot” prediction from Esprit de Corps Canadian Military Magazine floats an interesting possibility that could happen as soon as May 19.
They suggest Minister of National Defence McGuinty will simultaneously announce:
1) The Gripen as the fighter of choice (presumably along with partnerships with SAAB).
2) The pause of the Snowbird program.
3) Replacement of the CF-114 Tutor jets with the Gripen for the revamped Snowbirds squadron.
I would approve of this plan!

Outstanding. Canada is far too deferential to the Americans, far too dependent on them for military hardware. We’d do better not only to buy elsewhere, but to develop domestically. The Avro Arrow was killed because its mission disappeared—but Canada’s military aviation industry was dismantled at the same time, to appease the USA. Adopting #Rafale or #Gripen with generous industrial offsets, would begin to correct that historical blunder.

Cold start comparisons of modern fighter planes:
Gripen, 95 seconds.
F-35, 14 minutes.Canada’s choice of aircraft should be clear.
12 and a half minutes is forever in modern warfare. IRBM’s from USA could wipe out bases, without time for F-35’s to even start!
But Gripens? They would still have a chance of escape, after launches would be detected.

Mark Carney's government has 'discreetly' started to make payments toward 14 additional US-built #F35 fighters: 'The fact that Ottawa has started paying for long-lead items for 14 additional fighter jets has not been made public.'
If Mark Carney thinks the F-35 is right for Canada, he should be making the case for it with Canadians. Hiding this from us is not acceptable.

#Trump does not want #Canada to replace the #US F-35 with the #Swedish #JAS-39 #Gripen.
To force the Canadians to choose the F-35s Trump begun to threaten Canada with 'severe retaliations'
now
Why should Canada choose military aircraft for National defense
that can be remotely disabled by another state ?
US weapons are NOT reliable to any state other than America
Everything that is necessary for defense that comes from the United States must be replaced
with weapons systems that are reliable. -

@ondrejspanko Monumental sky. Two pilots, two jets... one formation.
It's trust, discipline, faith above fear.

Canada needs to be more aggressive in its responses to Trump's belligerence. Among many other things, we should be doing these immediately:
1. Send Canadian troops to take part in defensive exercises in Greenland. This was a no-brainer, and the fact that Carney didn't instantly jump on it is a black mark for Canada's history.
2. Axe - don't delay, completely cancel - the F-35 fighter deal. If there's a way to (legally - we're not Trump) get out of the current obligation of another squadron of them, do it.
3. Sign the Gripen deal.
4. Start hurting US businesses, more than we have been. Buying less of their booze is one thing, but we should be doing things like closing Canadian airspace to American-owned carriers. No more great-circle routes to Europe from most of the USA. Look for other opportunities to cause economic pain. Trump doesn't give a damn; nothing will stop him from doing whatever he wants. We - and the rest of the world - have to motivate the US public, its business leaders, and its legislative branch to remove him, and anyone that comes after him that tries to walk the same path.
