Parts supplier sues Magellan Aerospace in Winnipeg for $1.5M, claiming invoices unpaid
A company that makes components for military aircraft in Winnipeg is being sued for more than $1.5 million by a supplier that claims it hasn't been paid for parts it supplied.
Magellan Aerospace manufactures the horizontal tail assembly used in Lockheed Martin's F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter aircraft.
A Manitoba company that supplies hardware entered into an agreement in 2011 to supply Magellan with parts for the manufacture of the Joint Strike Fighter.
After that agreement expired in 2017, another agreement took effect until April 30, 2023, says the statement of claim filed in court.
It says the two companies were unable to negotiate a new agreement, and in December 2024, Adams Supply issued two invoices to Magellan, for a total of $1,499,980.35.
The invoices were to be paid by Magellan by April 5, 2025, the lawsuit claims.
"Despite Adams Supply fully performing its obligations under the procurement agreement" and issuing invoices, the court document alleges "Magellan has failed, neglected and/or refused to pay the invoices."
The lawsuit was filed by A. Adams Supply (1969) Ltd. on April 7 at Manitoba Court of King's Bench in Winnipeg, and names Magellan Aerospace Ltd. and Magellan Aerospace Winnipeg as defendants.
The plaintiff is seeking a court judgment for the invoices, plus interest and court costs.
The allegations have not been tested in court and Magellan has not filed a statement of defence.

Prime Minister Carney praises Trump as ministers jet to Sweden to talk defence deals
Prime Minister Mark Carney issued an unusual statement Saturday to praise U.S. President Donald Trump for trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Carney's public endorsement of Trump's leadership on the world stage came as the president and his Alaskan summit were widely derided by foreign policy and security experts. The get-together was of little value and gave Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former intelligence officer, an image boost, they said. In a brief statement Saturday, Carney said: 'The leadership of President Trump and the United States is creating the opportunity to end Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.' 'Robust and credible security guarantees are essential to any just and lasting peace,' Carney continued. 'I welcome the openness of the United States to providing security guarantees as part of Coalition of the Willing's efforts. Story continues below advertisement 'Canada is co-ordinating closely with President Zelenskyy and our partners in the Coalition of the Willing to intensify our steadfast support for Ukraine and our shared commitment to its peace and security.' 2:04 Trump 'very unhappy' with Russia, threatens 100% tariffs if no deal to end Ukraine war in 50 days While Carney was praising Trump, two of Carney's own cabinet ministers were preparing for important private meetings in Stockholm on Monday to discuss expanding Canada-Sweden trade.

The two developments come as Canada tries to hammer out a new deal on tariffs with the Trump administration, and the parties blew past the Aug. 1 deadline. Story continues below advertisement After Carney was sworn in as prime minister following the last election amid the tariff war, he ordered a review of the Canadian government's plan to buy a fleet of 88 F-35 fighters at more than US$88 million each from American jet maker Lockheed Martin. Canada has committed only to buying the first 16. Aerospace and defence experts have suggested the Saab Gripen would be a more versatile and economical choice and build Canadian-European trade as Trump threatens to annex Canada. The Swedish company has reportedly offered to build the jets in Canada and create as many as 6,000 new jobs. Saab CEO Micael Johansson confirmed in April that the company was actively engaged in discussions with Canada regarding the potential sale of its JAS-39E/F Gripen fighter jets, despite this country's 2023 deal and commitment to the American F-35 program. That is what makes next week's closed-door visit to Sweden by Industry Minister Mélanie Joly (also minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions), and Stephen Fuhr, secretary of state for defence procurement, all the more interesting from a geopolitical perspective. Joly and Fuhr will meet with Ebba Busch, Sweden's deputy prime minister (also business and industry minister), and Pål Jonson, Sweden's minister for defence, 'to advance their collaboration' and 'deepen the Canada–Sweden relationship,' an advisory about their visit says. Story continues below advertisement In February 2024, Defence Minister Bill Blair announced Canada was buying short-range anti-aircraft systems from Sweden's Saab to protect Canadian troops in Latvia, at a cost of $227.5 million. The deal marked the first time since 2012 that the Canadian troops have an air defence capability. The Canadian government also says its trade with Sweden is growing fast since the countries signed a trade deal in 2018 and since Sweden joined Canada in the NATO alliance. Bilateral merchandise trade has increased by 90 per cent from 2016 to 2024. It was valued at $4.9 billion in 2024. 'As like-minded supporters of fair, open, sustainable and inclusive free trade, Canada and Sweden enjoy a strong commercial relationship,' Canada notes on its website.

Government to follow Canadian military's lead on F-35, defence minister says
Article content Defence Minister David McGuinty says the Liberal government will take its lead on the F-35 decision from the military as he expects a report on the U.S.-built fighter jet to be delivered shortly. Article content The review of the controversial F-35 purchase is still in the hands of Canadian Forces and Department of National Defence officials, he confirmed. Article content Article content But McGuinty, during a tour of Canadian Forces Base Borden, Ont., on Aug. 11 pointed out that he expected the review to be released shortly and outlined the next steps. Article content Article content 'When the review is completed, we can take our lead from the experts that performed the review both in the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces,' McGuinty told journalists. 'Obviously it would be strange if they didn't look at the operational needs going forward, and I'm sure they'll have a lot more to say about that.' Article content Article content The Ottawa Citizen asked the Canadian Forces and DND for comment on Aug. 5 and Aug. 12 about the status of the F-35 review and its expected release date. Article content DND spokesperson Cheryl Forrest noted in an email that 'the F-35 review is still expected to be finalized by the end of this summer.' No further details were provided. Article content Article content McGuinty has previously said the review will be completed by the end of the summer and will be made public. Article content Article content The final decision on whether Canada proceeds with the F-35 purchase will be made by Prime Minister Mark Carney, who ordered the review of Canada's purchase in the wake of threats against Canadian sovereignty by U.S. President Donald Trump. The U.S. has become increasingly hostile to Canada, with Trump continuing with his economic efforts to punish Canada and push for this country to become the 51st state. Article content But Canadian Forces leaders are very close to their U.S. counterparts and have been pushing for more integration and co-operation between the two militaries even as Trump has threatened the Canadian economy. Article content At this point, Canada has only financially committed to purchasing 16 jets from the U.S. government. The entire order was for 88 aircraft, which would be manufactured by the American defence giant Lockheed Martin.
