Why Canada’s Fighter Jet Debate Is a Farce
Update: 2025-11-21
Description
The F-35 decision is made — so why is Saab still lobbying? Richard Shimooka cuts through the noise and explains why the Swedish Gripen jet can’t compete on cost or capability. With Canada part of the F-35 development consortium, any deviation now would be a costly political move, not a strategic one.
Plus: a deeper look at the idea of a NATO defense investment bank, and why it’s less about war profiteering and more about solving critical gaps in funding for military innovation. Shimooka explains how modern procurement works, why private capital is reluctant to invest in defense, and what a remilitarized world economy could look like.
