Due to a trade dispute with the United States, Canada will not buy the F-18 Super Hornet as promised. Instead, they will buy used early production F-18 Jets from Australia. Canada got caught with its pants down because it's subsidizes Bombardier in Canada. In the last couple of years, Canada has given 300 million dollars to that company. Boeing and Embraer have disputed the unfair advantage of Bombardier. Bombardier now has a 200% tariff on Bombardier aircraft they want to sell in the USA.

I'm sick to death of Canada's entitlement. EVERYTHING they have, they owe to us. Every. Single. Thing. Because a significant portion of their GDP does NOT go to defense because they know we will protect them. So they're content to run out of replenishment ships. Why not? We'll resupply them. They're content to let their destroyers go derelict. Why not? We'll protect them. They're content to spend billions on sub-par submarines that never go active. Why not? Our SSN's'll do the job. I understand that human nature dictates that you mooch off anyone willing to let you mooch. Which, we clearly are. I don't blame them for that. What I blame them for is accepting all the help and protection we extend on one hand, and then trying to take some moral high ground on the other, like they're somehow better than us. Which they do.

I remember reading that Canada is the biggest trading partner in 36 of the 50 states.
