This sale was announced around the same time Freeland was declaring the U.S. dead and buried and revealing and revealing some token amount of defense spending that would make Canada free of American influence.
Not only has that been proven to be an amateurism daydream but now Canada has painted itself into a corner. How to back down from this sale while saving face. Despite all the hysterics and criticizer from Freeland, the U.S. being the adult will have to help Canada extricate itself from this mess. 
Not only did i predict this exact scenario when the sale was announced, I predicted similar  dilemmas when Canada blew its first kiss at the Chinese. You can't have the relationship with China that Canada wants while still being more dependent on the U.S. than any other country. And the reason is not what the U.S. might do. It's  what Canada might do in its ineptness.
