Canada's Defense Sovereignty Under Siege: The F-35 Decision That Changes Everything

Описание: 🚨 BREAKING: Canada's $27.7 Billion Defense Crisis - Trump Threats Backfire as Ottawa Considers Swedish Alternative 🇨🇦

Canada is facing its biggest defense sovereignty decision in decades. After Trump threatened 50% tariffs on Canadian aircraft, the NDP called for CANCELLING the entire F-35 contract - and Sweden's offer just changed everything.

✈️ What's Really Happening:
Canada's F-35 deal: 88 jets, $27.7 billion (46% cost overrun)
Complete US software dependency - controlled from Florida
Trump's tariff threats connecting defense to political leverage
Sweden's Saab offering 72 Gripens + manufacturing IN Canada
12,600 Canadian jobs vs American supply chain dependency

🎯 Why This Matters:
Mark Carney's "middle power autonomy" doctrine is being tested RIGHT NOW. Will Canada deepen integration with an unpredictable superpower, or build peer partnerships with countries like Sweden?

⚡ The Sovereignty Problem:
F-35s require Pentagon permission for software updates during conflict. Only Israel has autonomy. Canada would pay billions for jets it can't fully control.

🇸🇪 The Swedish Alternative:
Full operational sovereignty
Manufactured on Canadian soil
No US permission needed for updates
Germany also reconsidering F-35s for same reasons

💡 This isn't just about fighter jets - it's about whether middle powers can build independence from superpower coercion. Trump's leverage tactics may have just pushed Canada toward exactly what he feared: alternatives to American dominance.
