The RCAF getting the oldest birds from the USN (I'm not sure if there's any Block I birds with the C-model avionics still in the fleet) I just don't think is a reality, not with the lack air air-frames currently available.
If by some black magic the RCAF can lease new Super Hornets off the line from Boeing for 10 years before they are given to the USN, I could see this working. But I doubt the USN is interested in used frames regardless of the cost savings, and it just makes too much sense for Canada to actually pan out.
