Global News: Protest held in Montreal against purchase of F-35 fighter jets

LOL
Germany has a half-dozen surplus zeppelins they could maybe buy
It would be much better not to sell the Canadian government our 5th gen fighter. China runs Canada. It's not a great leap to understand that any/all technology inside the F-35 will soon be in the hands of the PRC if the Canadians acquire it.
Trudeau has loudly declared his admiration for the Chinese communist dictatorship. Very recently as a matter of fact.
