Why Does This Former Canadian General Hate The Gripen So Much?

Video Description

Why is former Canadian General Thomas Lawson so determined to shut down any discussion about the Swedish Gripen? For years he has aggressively promoted the American made F 35 fighter jet, even as more Canadians question whether the united states is still a trustworthy partner. Today we take a closer look at why Lawson is so adamant that the F 35 is the only option and whether his loyalties are pointed south instead of toward Canada. This is not just a debate about aircraft. It is a debate about sovereignty, politics, and the growing frustration many Canadians feel toward the united states. Every week Canada News is flooded with stories about border security concerns, ice raids, and Canadian travellers being denied entry for reasons that make no sense. The united states continues to push 51st state rhetoric and annexation language through the Trump Administration, and many Canadians have decided they have had enough. Canada is seeing us boycott movements rise in response to unsafe conditions involving CBP and ICE agents. The result is a visible us tourism decline and a growing us tourism collapse that the US Tourism industry is refusing to acknowledge. Even while the united states deals with tariffs, trade issues, and internal politics, Canadian citizens are choosing to stay home or travel overseas instead. Reports across news today and top news outlets continue to highlight this shift.
