Boeing-Canada Super Hornet dispute goes global
The Canadian and British governments are combining forces against Boeing in a trade dispute that threatens the purchase of fighter jets as well as aerospace jobs in both countries.

I do oh so love your hate for all things Boeing... It is seriously entertaining lol.
"Some will rightly note that the price offered to Canada includes a lot of support equipment, spares and services that are not included in the US Navy order, as they are bought separately. "
Sort of like the price of a small sailboat, which did not include sails, running gear, motor, battery or trailer. It did include the standing rigging.
Another analogy would be airline 'add on fees' above the ticket price.

While the final decision will be political, from a military point of view there are lots of options which may not please the brass but can do the jobs needed.
