Canada has received its first two CF-35A fighters—but the future of its full 88-aircraft purchase remains uncertain.
These aircraft mark an important step toward replacing Canada’s aging CF-18 fleet. So why is Ottawa still reconsidering the deal?
I explain what the F-35 brings to Canadian defense, how Trump’s tariffs and fifty-first-state rhetoric damaged trust, and why that matters for decades of spare parts, software updates and military cooperation. We also examine the Gripen alternative, rising costs, and American manufacturing jobs tied to the program.
The first aircraft are in Arizona for training. Receiving two jets does not settle the purchase of all 88.
