Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a review of Canada ’s purchase of 88 F-35 planes at US$85 million each.

Canada is legally committed to buying the first 16 aircraft, which are designed and built by U.S.-based Lockheed Martin .

Professor David Bercuson , a history professor at the University of Calgary said if the federal government were to purchase the 16 planes and pursue another option it would be a burden.

The F-35 has the advantage of interoperability in working with the U.S. , and Granatstein called it the “best thing available” Canada began paying into the production plan for the fighters in 1998 .

“We can’t buy a goddamn pistol in less than 10 years ,” Bercuson said.
