I am happy with ties to Finland, however a steel cutting ceremony for a NSS ship in another country is not a good look for Davie. We are paying a premium on NSS ships, in order to benefit from Canadian jobs. Seems we are paying the premium and not getting the full other half of the deal?

Yeah, sadly there is a hard choice to make between capability and economics. We need one of the Polars for 2030. We can't get Louis to run forever, and sadly this is the solution that gets us that Icebreaker we need on time.

Shame it got this way, but sadly thats thr tough choice to make

If you are wondering like I was how the ITB policy applieshere, Grok does a bang up job explaining how it will all will work out in the end regarding ITBs.

I would imagine that Bombardier influences about 20,000 jobs NOT 200,000.

Bombardier themselves no. That is the total estimate across the sector. However Bombardier is a major player there, so supporting them goes a long way in thr governments eyes.
