Canadians Call on Carney to DROP F-35 Jets Deal, Build Up Military with Swedish Gripens

In Canadian politics news today, Bill responds to a comment we get a lot on the channel, which essentially calls on Prime Minister Carney to drop the deal for more F-35 fighter jets with the United States in favour of building up Canada’s military by partnering with Sweden’s Saab to purchase made-in-Canada Gripen E fighter jets instead.Prime Minister Carney has put the deal on hold for a “review process”, seemingly using it as a bargaining chip in CUSMA trade deal negotiations. But perhaps Canada, and the shifting global political landscape, would benefit more from Carney’s political leadership, boldly refusing further intertwine our militaries and giving the US regime a taste of its own non-compliance medicine.Tune into Episode 341 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times.This podcast was recorded on January 10, 2025.Don’t forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill’s work.
