    All I want for Christmas is an Avi Lewis NDP Federal Government. Even just one term will restore a lot of my faith in the world. Can we please work on this.

      This must be your first time paying attention to politics if you think one term will restore your faith in the world 🤣.

      Jokes aside, I would love to shake things up at least once to see what they do and how it turns out. I’m sick of the con/lib pendulum I’ve known my whole life. Let’s break from the norm. So sick of the status quo.

    Can we even do that? I thought we had some sort of commitment already for part of the order at least.

      There are 16 that are already bought and paid for. Those are in production. There are 14 more that the government recently paid deposits on to keep their place in line for production. Then there’s another 58 that have neither been paid in full nor had deposits paid.

    We don’t necessarily need a commitment to Saab, not that I’m against the Swedish. I’m very fond of Sweden, but I think we need to consider hopping on the 6th gen boat with someone, the same way we did with the F-35 program.

    Oh yah this again. So we well cancel the contract pay a penalty again and what. The NDP well never win a majority and I and others well never vote for them. If they do not like white men do not expect white men to vote for them.
