No we cannot. We should be spending that money on more pressing things, we don't need a stealth fighter.

Canada is dealing with: - High inflation - Housing Crisis - Crumbling Health system - Food security issues; in 2022 a record breaking 1.5 million visits to the food banks across Canada. It will get worse in 2023

Yet, we are spending billions on ridiculous and unnecessary jets, and policies.

Should we pull out of NATO then? That is the option.

Yes, we should. Canada's only security threat was from Russia and it turns out that Russia's army is extremely incompetent.
