https://www.19fortyfive.com/2026/05/canada-was-going-to-buy-88-f-35s-today-its-only-committed-to-16-and-hedging-on-14-more-as-saab-pitches-the-gripen-alternative/

This is the most recent article I see. Seems they're making parts payments to keep in the queue while reviewing. Should obviously have never signed up for 88 f 35s in the first place in my opinion. It was obvious then as it's obvious now that America was going to be an incredibly adversarial partner, unworthy of trust.

Their recent actions make it glaringly obvious any purchase planes comes with severe risk.
