it makes no sense for Canada to design its own military hardware

Sure why the h*ck design and make anything if can just sell the internals of the country abroad, build mansions and pay employee-representatives outrageous honorariums for democratic adornment of the process?

there were no customers for it

the Swedes are not even getting anywhere with their Gripen, everybody is buying F-35 instead

economies of scale, only the Americans can build the number of aircraft required to make the program viable
