No, we're apparently talking about different things. The joint strike fighter program (FCAS) has been cancelled.
YouTube: Europe's 6th Generation Fighter Breakup - The End of FCAS & What Next for the 6th Gen Race? (Perun)Sort of a long video, does a deep dive into the reasons. If you're interested in this sort of thing, you should probably subscribe to this guy. He spends a lot of time on Ukraine (for obvious reasons), but also talks about the US, Europe, and even countries you might not consider like India or some African nations.
You are correct that Canada is realizing they need a larger coastal patrol now that climate change has melted the polar icecaps for part of the year. They didn't have that problem 10 or 15 years ago. We're starting to have the same problem because the northern coast of Alaska is opening up in the summers.
