Justin Trudeau after lambasting then PM Stephen Harper of the Conservative Party on trying to purchase 16 F-35 back in 2010 for $9 Billion with an expected delivery date in 2016. But back then, Justin Trudeau said this about then Conservative government:
“The Conservative government never actually justified or explained why they felt Canada needed a fifth-generation fighter,” Trudeau said in 2015.
But this time around the F-35 is a more mature product and you see, according to the Liberal government Defense Minister the purchase of 88 F-35 A with an estimated total costs of $70 Billion will inject 3,200 jobs and will bring $425 MILLION back into the Canadian economy. But how come this purchase makes economic contribution to the Canadian economy at higher costs, but the prior government intended purchase price of 65 F-35 for $9 Billion economic benefit was non-existent?
If the Conservative Government only had China to be used as their bogeyman, then they too could have made their intended purchase happen. Alas, they just happened to have govern Canada at the wrong time.
