“Canada is actively looking at potential alternatives to the U.S-built F-35 stealth fighter and will hold conversations with rival aircraft makers, Defence Minister Bill Blair said late Friday, just hours after being reappointed to the post as part of Prime Minister #MarkCarney 's new cabinet.” #Canada

Portugal just cancelled their order. Say they cannot rely on or trust this USA not to turn off the electronics and such.

Oh yeah: ALL closed source electronics are presumed backdoored by their makers.

For this reason, for Canada to buy F-35s now is an even worse idea than it would have been for Britain to buy German Messerschmidt bf-109 fighters for the RAF in 1939 instead of building their own.

American corporations have launched "buying does not mean owning".

Businesses don't tell you when a purchase is really just an easily revocable license or about 3rd party surveillance embedded in items.

Remote bricking is in iPhones, Teslas, and John Deere equipment. It's probably in US military equipment too & security is sloppy

I refuse ro own ANYTHING containing links back to its maker I cannot sever. Printers.are never allowed to connect to the Internet, networked phonea and computers get a custom OS, and no Internet of Things ar all.

Zero support for DRM media, so as to mark any such filea that come to me from outside rhe paid channels I never touch for immediate desrruction.

Every device I own is kept as opaque as possible to corporate America (and China etc) by replacing their software and/or blocking their network connections.

Cheap offline computer stuff that cannot be reprogrammed is kept forever offline and never updates. Fancy ones like TV's, game consolea etc are kept out of my life as security threats.

If I were in charge of an air force, all the planes would either have no network connection to any flight or weapons computers(for planes flown from a pilot's seat), or would use hardware made from common, hard to trace stuff like deaktop PC parts or Raspberry Pi stuff.. This stuff could be made to think it was GAMING, meaning any low level backdoors would not get rhe data they need to trigger. Large country air force? Make our own chips, turtles all the way down security.

"still the best?" No way. Kindles need to be taken offline so Amazon can't delete content, and all future content torrented to another device.

Musk can turn off Starlink, Teslas, and twitter accounts at a ketamine fueled whim.

The continuing flow of spare parts and software updates is critical to operating an F-35, and can be turned off just as quickly on a whim.

This is true for ALL aviation. Even a toy store drone is grounded if a part that you cannot replace breaks.
