Canada might become the first country to pull out of the F-35 program

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives previously warned that the F-35 was unsuited for Canadian use due to the performance of the aircraft's single engine compared to more longstanding twin engine aircraft designs and the country's vast swathes of uninhabited Arctic. If an F-35 suffered engine failure in these environments, it's unclear what a Canadian pilot's backup plan would be - they'd likely only have a few days to live after ejecting into an Arctic environment.
