Canada

The Rafale has been amongst various aircraft
proposed to meet Canada's need for a modern jet
fighter to replace the aging McDonnell Douglas
CF-18 Hornet of the Royal Canadian Air Force
(RCAF).

In July 2010, the Canadian government
announced the replacement for the CF-18 was to be
the F-35 Lightning II; Canada having been a
partner in the Joint Strike Fighter Program from
1997 and a Tier 3 partner for the F-35 Lightning
II since 2002.However, in December 2012, the
Canadian government had announced that the
purchase of the F-35 had been abandoned due to
greatly escalating costs, and that a fresh
procurement process would begin.

 In January 2013, Dassault responded to an
request for information from the Canadian
government and announced its readiness to
 enter a future competition for a future fighter
 procurement. Various aircraft are
to be considered to meet the requirement,
including the F-35.

Rearrange your inbox sections as you desire. *************************************** Replies to emails are at the bottom of the Senders Email To add .jpg's in same place click camers,add pic's and then upload them. ***************************************** No matter which option you choose, you'll get the old segmented inbox back. From there you can choose how many/which sections you want. You will lose the sorted tabs, though: for now, it seems you can only use one type of inbox or the other. We don't know if Google is going to eventually roll out the new inbox system as a mandatory upgrade for all users, however for the time being the choice is entirely up to you.
