      I’ve heard enough. I’m going to sign this deal myself if our government doesn’t.

      Can a pot be too sweet?

      I’m gonna be really disappointed at this rate if we don’t go with the SK subs.

      Um….something is not mathing…….

      „Last year’s defense exports (15.2 billion dollars) accounted for only 0.02% of Korea’s total exports (700 billion dollars). Although the Canadian submarine project is large in scale (60 trillion won), „

      This is huge. The hull will be made with Canadian steel and torpedoes will be made in Canada,

      Canadian unicorn Cohere AI will provide predictive diagnostic maintenance and optimize construction , and also provide AI agents to support operation decisions.

      Electro-Optical Infrared Systems will be made by PV Labs in Hamilton,

      Blackberry will integrate digital infrastructure and Combat Communication Systems with Canadian sensors,

      Training Simulations will be made by Montreal’s CAE,

      and a new sonar will be developed together between Canadian and Korean companies.

      I wonder if they’ll allow us to produce the Hyunmoo 4-4 missiles that go in the VLS silos too

      Never thought I’d be cheering on a torpedo factory but here we are. I approve.

      South Korea has a population crash happening and a secure base offshore for production makes sense

      Well I’m kinda sold on signing the deal with Korea. Seems better than the German proposal. Especially since the Korean subs can fire ballistic missiles and the German subs can’t.

      At this point, is there really anything left to consider? I have little knowledge on how these contracts work, but it seems like this would offset some of the pain caused by the tariffs and plants shutting down.

      I realize these subs are more expensive than the German ones, but this offer is too good to pass up. For that extra money we are basically buying good Canadian jobs, and that counts towards our NATO spending targets.

      So rather than the government shovelling billions at the big 3 autos to maintain some tenuous manufacturing in Canada (they will keep coming every few years for more money, or simply take it and leave anyway), we can spend those billions towards our NATO targets and develop new manufacturing capabilities here with a very trustworthy partner who wont constantly reneg on their deals.

      And we improve our arctic sovereignty many years sooner.

      Ive always liked Korea. They have great people who are super friendly, smart, work (too) hard, and the food is A+. This somehow makes them even more likeable. Maybe they can convince us of the value of an efficient rail system while we’re at it.

      Canada finally gets reciprocal treatment from a trading partner? Sacre bleu!

      Well if they throw in a free LG laundry and kitchen package for every household in Canada we will give you the contract LOL
