Linked National Post on purpose. Given their bias I believe they’d present the worst case scenario.

E: Apparently the article is from 2016 so the cost is likely higher today.

    We need to pull out of this deal, the last thing Canada needs is to buy weapons from the country that has designs to annex us. And that sells weapons with kill switches.

        That feels like an internet rumour. How would that even work? Like if someone took out LM’s servers all F-35s in the world would no longer function? If an enemy jammed the signal they wouldn’t work?

        There’s no need to invent problems anyway. The US could potentially cut off Canada from parts needed to maintain the planes and that’s reason enough to cancel it.

        Exactly. Absolutely it has to be cancelled based on the fact that the imminent danger to Canada is from the US. No way we should be buying their weapons, listening to their media etc.
