Leaves out the fact it was by far and away the winning pick of the CAF over the Gripen. Leaves out the shared NORAD obligations that would be undermined by the lesser capability

That Frank Graves poll Commons references didn't explain the lesser capabilities of the Gripen to those Canadians polled but when did details like that matter to Ekos or CBC?
