Work the Canadian aircraft maker does for the Pentagon might be at risk if Canada decides to bail out of plans to buy a full fleet of 88 F-35 stealth fighter jets from Lockheed Martin, Bombardier’s Eric Martel said in Montreal. Quebec-headquartered Bombardier has operations across North America and can shift production to minimize the effects of American tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, Martel told the Canadian Club of Montreal.

Talking point: Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered a review of F-35 purchases beyond the 16 jets it has firmly committed to buying. The trade war launched by U.S. President Donald Trump is one reason for reconsidering a deal worth an estimated $73.9 billion, all-in; American control over the jets’ complex computer systems is another, in light of Trump’s intention to annex Canada. Ottawa settled on the F-35s after years of stop-and-start procurement work; they’re to replace the Royal Canadian Air Force’s fleet of CF-18s, which date back to the 1980s.
