[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

So is there any chance the gripen can work for Canada?  I'd love to see a partnership like that, but it seems pretty hard to move on from the F35 at this stage.

I can't remember the details of the last report I read regarding the terms of the contract with the Americans but my vague recollection is we are only obligated to take a few if their jets at this point. That cost may be worth the advantages the Swedish deal presents. Not the least if which is disengaging with an untrustworthy partner.
