We have never made our own jets. We’re not gonna start now. Buying American is waaay more cost effective, and that’s what Canadians want.

I think the debate on the F35 is a bit more encompassing than just going with the "best value" option there.

F35s suck. Extremely expensive, and low flight hours. Value argument is strongly negative. They also have a kill switch that would prevent Canada from using them to defend against US.
