The Libs canceled the F35 purchase only to implement the exact same purchase 8 years later.   

Sounds like mismanagement to me.  What do you think about an 8 year delay just to do the exact same thing the Previous government was implementing?

the federal government maintained its participation in the 'F-35 program'... as the waldo understands the cumulative cost to do so was in the order of some US$600 million - while also allowing companies in Canada to secure US$2 billion in contracts during that same period.

clearly when you stooopidly state, "just to do the exact same thing", you have no grasp on the early year problems "early adopters" of the F-35 had to deal with (as in, for example, iterative cost overruns and suspect performance). More pointedly your simplistic reference to a "delay" showcases you're not a serious player on this file... in line with your typical engagement in most everything, hey! Most pointedly you highlight your ignorance to the impact of ongoing trade disputes, in particular the Boeing action against Bombardier & the accompanying Trump admin 300% tariff against Bombardier sales... all of which helped to ultimately "kibosh/counter" the federal government plan to buy 18 new Super Hornet fighter jets from the U.S. government and Boeing.

c'mon squiggy, try again - try harder!
