Because many of us have family links to the US and really admired the US as a nation, it is time for a level-headed discussion on this relationship which we should have had a long time ago. Canada, just like the UK, may think it has a special relationship with the US. We do not, only because the US political system will only allow for the interest of the US. Do you think for a moment a Netflix decision in which a government abandons part of its sovereignty to a private foreign company would have been possible in the US? I would suggest that, to begin with, full and open competition for the replacement of the fighter aircraft fleet be launched, with an obligation for compliance to perform final assembly in Canada. And any significant military contract should include a reciprocity clause for joint R&D in terms of advanced technologies, not vague promises of jobs which rarely provide for the capability of Canada to exports free from a foreign government interference.
