It's actually a meager investment, long overdue, but timely considering world economics. I congratulate Halifax and Vancouver. It's going to be a problem for us out here in Alberta/Saskatchewan however as the roller coaster appears to be launching off it's rails in a vertical run. We are starving for skilled trades. With what some estimate at over 3 trillion in capital investment projects, the last thing we need is for eastcoasters to think they can stay home and not have to move to Alberta to make a living. But then again, maybe some of those fellows from the once golden manufacturing belt of southern Ontario, will decide it's time to move to heaven.It was someone in Ottawa cashing a 33 Billion dollar check for new warships. 15 new destroyers and frigates plus a host of coastal vessels.
This was added to the 67 F-35's and soon to be announced 30+ specialty aircraft.
Ouch, my pockets are empty.
China.... just kidding.....where are your warships made?
I don't think carriers are part of the mix. Our biggest concern is our northern borders, which will be tested in the race for resources. As such, ice breakers along with a contigent of battle capable craft are key. I suspect a component of unity with our southern neighbours is also at play.At least you'll have aircraft on your aircraft carriers...
And you don't have to share with the French...
