On Sept. 24 Richard Shimooka had an opinion piece in the National Post arguing that the F-35 is still the best bet for Canada. He stated that a competition would be a costly and largely pointless process “with the outcome likely to be the reselection of the F-35.”
Alan Williams, who signed the original MOU committing Canada to the research and development aspect of the F-35 disagrees.
