Canada Examines More Economic Options than F-35

Ottawa, Nov 25 (Prensa Latina) Prime Minister Stephen Harper's administration is looking for alternatives to the US F-35 war plane, after receiving an avalanche of criticism to the costly intentions of the Canadian conservative Executive.
Experts and official delegates met over the last weeks with other US and European companies to seek lower prices and compare expenditures, like Boeing which manufactures the Superhornet and the European group maker of bomber Eurofighter Typhoon, publishes the National Post.

The Minister of Public Works, Rona Ambrose, informed the Lower Chamber in parliament that the Harper cabinet does not want to impose the expensive acquisition of the F-35 and explores other viable options.

The controversy over the F-35 of fifth generation has haunted the conservative government since 2010, when the acquisition of 65 of such planes to the Lockheed Martin group of the United States for 25 billion dollars.

The FA-18 & F-16 are more than good enuff, last a long time & are cheap in comparison.
