Prime Minister Mark Carney says the Canadian Armed Forces need the plane to detect and deter threats across the Arctic.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Wednesday that his government would not purchase early-warning-radar planes from the United States, opting instead for a European model.

Canada will purchase Swedish Saab’s GlobalEye, which is based on the Canadian-manufactured Bombardier Global 6500 jet.

Tensions between the US and Canada have been high since Donald Trump launched a trade war against the US’ northern neighbor and even suggested that Canada should become the 51st US state, which caused widespread outrage in Canada, just as Carney was seeking the post of prime minister and succeeded in getting elected to it.

Since then, the Canadian government has also opted ot review the planned purchase of US F-35 fighter jets to explore other options.

    Like I said not the same, unless ExxonMobil is the us state (not the most clownish thing however) the us in no way “took over” Venezuela.

    If she really meant that all americans in Venezuelan soil should have been exiled or jailed the next day after Maduro’s kidnapping. Even if that meant war. In fact, if another country seized my president from my own country, that would have meant war, no ifs or buts.

    Oh please by that logic why are americans not in full on armed revolt? Lots of strong language but no useful action, like the us foreign policy.
