Globe says Bombardier hears Gripen deal in the works

2025-11-24 07:16 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, Nov. 22, edition that today, the stars are aligning for Canada, which has been offered a rare opportunity to relaunch its once-vast, now virtually moribund, defence aerospace industry by an unlikely agent of change, Sweden. The Globe's Eric Reguly writes that will Canada take it? The tense relationship between Ottawa and Washington makes any decision complicated. To avoid provoking another tantrum from President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Mark Carney might opt out. The Globe says Sweden excels at building military flying machines. The Gripen fighter jet and the GlobalEye early-warning surveillance aircraft, both made by Saab, are considered globally competitive. Saab says that building the Gripen in Canada would create 10,000 jobs and that building the entire GlobalEye, which is based on the Canadian-made Bombardier 6500-series business jet, in Canada would create 3,000 jobs (the GlobalEye's radar, sensors and other military gear are currently installed in Sweden). Even if the jobs created are only half of the company's claim, it would still be significant amid the job losses in Canada's auto, steel, and aluminum industries due to Mr. Trump's tariffs.
