Canada’s F-35 vs Gripen Choice: Software Sovereignty at Stake.
Canada’s F-35 vs Gripen choice is not just about fighter jets — it’s about software sovereignty, industrial power, and national identity in the 21st century.
For decades, the debate over Canada’s next fighter aircraft has been framed as a technical comparison: stealth, range, interoperability, and cost. But beneath the surface, a far more consequential question has been quietly avoided. Who controls the software that defines modern air power — and what does that mean for Canada’s long-term sovereignty?
In this in-depth geopolitical analysis, we explore how the F-35 is not merely a fighter jet, but part of a closed, U.S.-led technological ecosystem where software control, upgrades, and operational authority are tightly centralized. While this model offers short-term stability and seamless alliance integration, it also raises uncomfortable questions about dependency, decision-making power, and strategic autonomy.
We then examine why Sweden’s Gripen E proposal disrupted a debate many believed was already settled. Rather than selling performance metrics, Sweden introduced a different philosophy — one rooted in software access, national control, and the responsibility that comes with true ownership of military capability. This is not a story of “better vs worse,” but of two fundamentally different power models.
Drawing on the legacy of the Avro Arrow, the rise of software-defined warfare, and Canada’s unique strategic challenges in the Arctic, this video asks a generational question: should Canada remain a customer within someone else’s system, or reclaim the capacity to design, adapt, and control its own future?
This decision goes far beyond defense procurement. It affects Canada’s industrial base, digital economy, future jobs, and its ability to respond independently in an increasingly unpredictable world.
💬 What do you think?
Is software sovereignty worth the cost and complexity?
Or is integration within a standardized alliance ecosystem the safer path?
