Canada should cancel the F-35 contract and divert the funds to acquiring more CL-515s instead. That's what US politicians want, right? I think this still falls under defense spending, so it should be fine with NATO.

The problem with AI is that right now there are no meaningful ethical guardrails. Or environmental guardrails, for that matter. We're just in a 'go fast and break stuff' mode.

Maybe slightly controversial opinion; but *if* the Luce can best the Taycan Turbo GT on the track, people will be a lot more accepting of the design.
