That is truly great news if Canada goes down this GlobalEye path. With Italy cancelling their KC46 order and recently selecting the Airbus tanker instead, I hope it sends a strong message to the USA that undermining and disrespecting their traditional allies means they are rejecting US military hardware in preference to more reliable and stable defense partners.
