Interesting headline. Sure, Canada will send every one of our F16's. They will be in the same shipment as our unicorns!

I want world peace and a different federal government.

Since when Canada has any F-16? We don’t have a single one to give, let alone our fleet of CF-18 are falling apart. All thanks to the Liberal-Trudeau spending and kickbacks.

[ronstephen]

Lets see... we can't provide for our homeless, we can't provide for our hungry and we can't provide for our sick so of course Canada can provide fighter jets to the Ukraine, eh! smh

[eljefe]

This feels like a bad deal for Canadians. F-16's are expensive, who's pocket does this come out of?

[peterbutz]

We don’t have any to supply is that a joke

[wolfecanada]

We have never had any F16s to give. Do you not have staff capable of basic research??

[d.r.tweedstweeddale]

Pretty hard to supply someone with something you don't have. They're welcome to the F-16s we have, zero. We only have 77 F-18s (or F-188) but for what they're worth to anyone now is questionable.

They got 126 billion dollars. I think they can procure aircraft for themselves.

Are you trying to start world war III?

Great News, Congratulations for Ukrainian
Thanks so much

Canada needs to spend 35 billion dollars too meet 2% nato defence spending we should fix own army then help Ukraine with better weapons

[daveeastern]

Lol canada doesnt even have f 16s. Go Trudeau. Canada should stock up on their own defense before stocking up other countries. But hey my tax dollars i pay for i have no say for. This has to be a joke. We gave our only tank away already.

[franklinfleming]

Sending all our junk equipment now lol decades old and poorly designed and maintained.

[Ryzen-xh]

Canada should produce drones and can help Ukraine to do so, especially since the drones used by both sides contain crucial Canadian components

[bigjamroll]

We need to send our F-22 fighters! All of them!

[joemadden]

Not gonna happen, nor should it happen.
