The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, Nov. 8, edition that federal cabinet ministers aim to revive the Arrow project, focusing not on the plane itself, but on creating a pioneering aerospace industry that could generate advanced flying weapons and numerous manufacturing and research jobs. The Globe's Eric Reguly writes that Canada aims to strengthen its aerospace industry, especially as U.S. tariffs impact its auto, steel and aluminum sectors. However, there is concern that the push to become a significant player in the weapons industry could become costly for taxpayers, as provincial and federal governments may resort to corporate welfare to attract aerospace jobs across the country. Sweden and Ukraine, of all countries, may soon help Canada fulfill its national ambition. Last week, The Globe reported that Bombardier and Saab, the Swedish aerospace company that makes the Gripen, are in talks to form a joint venture to produce the fighter in Canada. It is always cheaper to purchase airplanes off the shelf from the country that invented and makes them. However, the purpose of buying the Gripen is not just defence, it is job creation. A time may come when we see Bombardier manufacturing the Gripen in Canada.
