Maybe they should buy those "Super Duper Hornets" Boeing was pushing a couple of years ago...
Canada doesn't need a lot of capacity. 15-20 jets will be good for them and good for us.

@Flash, what's more important/valuable to Naval Aviation? 15-20 Canadian Rhinos, or the St Louis line staying open longer? No personal offense meant to our northern bros, but I'd call it a tweener - at best.
I understand this is a good thing for Boeing's F-18 production line, but what strategic effect will the cancellation of a very close ally's F-35 buy have on the F-35 program? Am I reading too far into this?
18 tails? I would guess they will be able to sustain maybe 2-4 on deployment, 4-8 on a surge. Similar to what Aussies can do with our 24. Enough to wave the flag and call it a coalition.
One of my neighbors is a military attache (Army) at the embassy. He's of the opinion that they are going with Es.
