I believe ship and Infustructure is far more relevant to our immediate needs in the artic than fighter jets . Our F35 purchase is more for Nato needs then Canadas Arctic defense atm , which is fine , we do need fighter jets and to pitch into nato but I dont think the cost of rushing into this shitty deal is nessassary atm with all the other shortfalls we have within our artic defense that could use a influx of funds that would recycle better into canadas economy.

Sounds great. Now we just need to get the country’s shipyards to stop delivering years late and 100%-1000% over budget. For example:
Translation: infinite money for Irving to buy ship designs from other countries to build in yet other countries at a higher price and lower quality to be delivered twenty years late, so that we can say we „bought Canadian“ via technicality.

Both areas that feed back into our economy.

– Seaspan was invited to bid on the BC Ferries contract, and [withdrew when they were told that „Canadian Content“ would not hand a win to an uncompetitive, massively-more-expensive bid](https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/other/it-can-t-just-be-a-competition-on-price-why-seaspan-didn-t-bid-on-bc-ferries-contract/ar-AA1HW3a0).
– Seaspan is currently building ships for the Coast Guard, [and they’re eight years late and a billion dollars over budget on a $100-million project](https://ca.news.yahoo.com/cost-canadas-flagship-ocean-science-150020504.html).
– They’re building support ships for the Navy that are [six years late and two billion dollars over budget on a two-billion-dollar budget](https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/new-shipbuilding-delay-leaves-canada-reliant-on-allies-civilian-ship-to-supply-navy/).
