The plan to buy F-35 Joint Strike Fighters will cost billions more than the $29-billion estimated by Canada's budget watchdog, a U.S. defence spending analyst says.
"It's going to be significantly more. It's not going to be $1-billion more, it's going to be significantly more," said Winslow Wheeler, a defence-spending watchdog with the Washington-based Center for Defense Information.

Fair enough. But remember that is over 30 yrs.
What are the Libs going to do instead?
How much will it cost?
We all know after a decade of denial the Lib gov't was forced to buy the helicopters they argued we did not need.
It caused international embarrassment.
Do you acknowledge that it was an error to scrap that deal?
Do you acknowledge that Ignatieff during that period called our peacekeeping efforts bogus?
The Libs have already spent this money 10-fold.
We know you want to spend the jet money on other stuff but we deserve an answer as to what the Libs future vision for our military is. Not buying jets doesn't wash.
You hate the USA Morton but use an American to justify your political position here in Canada.
Are you stoned?
James, to the issue of Harper saying his staff controls the campaign....get in touch with Ignatieff and start a new line.
"Apparently, in Parliament it's Ministerial Accountability but on the campaign trail, it's the staff who run his show".
I hate the USA? That's delusional -- what I do dislike is wasting money on a project that won't do anything useful for Canada. The Forces need airsupport -- but stealth fighters? To fight the Russians? Who's stoned here?
Since we're talking about good military procurement, how's Paul Martin's submarines working out these days? Quebec and the East coast still bitching because they don't get to fix them? That was the purpose, right? Job creation program just fixing them?
Stephen Harper's C-17s are doing really well. Toms of jobs for Canadians aerospace industry and near instant mobility for troops, relief efforts and emergencys. Good thing we didn't listen and rent those Russian cargo listers.
Should have rented those subs though.
Fantastic website you have here but I was wanting to know if you
knew of any community forums that cover the same topics discussed in this
article? I'd really love to be a part of online community where I can get feedback from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Bless you!
