What's that? I'm a Canadian living in Europe. Edit: it's a Swedish plane made by Saab (great cars rip). I'd still prefer if Canada made its own jets.

Lol, I mention it because that's actually what they offered, including a transfer of all the needed intellectual property. Gripens are also kind of neat in that you can run them out of the bush with 5 untrained conscripts as ground crew.

If you mean design our own, sure, maybe in the future. We're as good as the next advanced country when it comes to that kind of thing.

No point reinventing the wheel, and we probably don't have time anyways. With Gripens, it's a proven design, and we could start production as soon as we can get a factory stood up

My comment was more about starting new Canadian industries. I agree that it makes sense to buy Gripens now though.
