I understand why they would not want two different breeds of fighter jets, but I think it needs to be done. It would be nice to have the other ones made in Canada.

Yeah, but hold in your mind for a second how much windows 11 sucks, inject it with trillions of cancerous military industrial complex bloat dollars and top it with Stelantis touchscreen jeep ads and that will give you an idea of how much of a piece of shit the jet is.
Don't get me wrong, along a lot of metrics it is a competitive advanced stealth-y fighter, but it is also just the most headachingly stupid overly wasteful arms project literally in history, ever.
The F35 is such a failure of wise resource allocation that no future military performance could possibly redeem it since that degree of stunningly large investment in virtually anything else would have yielded incomprehensibly more wealth, power and functional machines.
Every hour an F35 flys is so expensive it can't do enough in that time to make the investment of resources to keep it from falling apart worth it. The mission has already failed by any reasonable metric the minute you turn the F35 on.
Many of us are not informed well enough to really understand if the negativity surrounding the F35 is accurate. There’s a lot of technicality and conflicting information and biases that a layperson kinda gets lost in it.
To be honest you paint a compelling picture and I’m inclined to believe it, especially as this has been described as a wasteful failure for quite some time by many sources.
But the neat thing is that now it doesn’t even matter because even if the damn thing was fantastic we don’t want it anyhow. You don’t let your biggest national security threat supply you arms. That’s just stupid.
So yeah you’re probably right. But either way we decline.
Never used windows 11 or any official windows since XP. I used some unofficial version newer version while I was still employed by Statistics Canada when they updated the computers from some unofficial 95 version. Started some time in late 2010’s and officially in early 2020 (before COVID). I was using Mac on my personal stuff, I have since moved to iOS for my daily driver and Debian for my server stuff.
For my protection I use a pihole system to block ads, I highly recommend everyone to use a pihole setup now because the Google makes money off of you seeing ads.
All I know is we should be on wwiii level production of weapons and equipment to defend against the Nazis.
Far as I am am concerned, we have been threatened with war and ought prepare as such.
