I wonder what happens if the majority of the large projects have progressed to the building phase, we're at 3.5%, and the economy is trucking along, and for some reason the Conservative Party wins the next election. Would they just continue on, or roll back progress made for the sake of doing the opposite the Liberals did.

They would declare victory for everything begin by their predecessors and blame and problems, real or perceived, on their predecessors.
As every political party does.
As every new CO does.
that problem would go away if the two major parties formed a joint group to review acquisitions and deliberately took that group out of the political stream by equal representation with a government minister with the deciding vote as odd man but with no whipped vote permitted.

And they’ll probably cut that spending so they can bring in tax cuts.

The Story of the Three Envelopes
As the old manager was leaving, he handed three sealed envelopes to the newly appointed manager, numbered 1, 2, and 3, and said:
"Whenever you face a major crisis in this office, open envelope number 1. When you face the second major crisis, open envelope number 2. And if a third major crisis arises, open envelope number 3."
The new manager happily agreed and kept the envelopes safely.
After a long time, the Head Office sent a stern warning letter regarding the lack of business growth. The manager had no idea how to respond to the management. Suddenly, he remembered the envelopes and opened Envelope No. 1. Inside, the note read:
"Blame everything on the old manager. Say that he left things in such a mess that you are busy fixing his mistakes from scratch."
The manager did exactly that, and the problem was solved.
A few months later, another letter arrived stating that targets were not being met and asking why disciplinary action should not be taken.
Panicked, the manager opened Envelope No. 2. It said:
"Blame the staff. Say they are lazy and unproductive. Tell the Head Office you are firing some, transferring others, and implementing strict structural changes to improve the office."
The manager followed the advice, and the crisis passed.
Some time later, the Head Office expressed extreme concern again over the lack of business, noting that even the Chairman was furious.
The manager remembered the third envelope. He opened Envelope No. 3, and it read:
"Now, prepare three envelopes

Or hear me out (this is also pure guess work anyways) they will target WASTEFUL spending such as BS Asylum seeker program, Carbon capture horseshit, etc. and keep the useful programs on track.
When Harper came in, he didn't broad stroke wipe away everything the Liberals had done/doing.
Now, was this a chance to try and shit on Pierre some more? With speculative predictions?

The NSS was awarded by Harper, implemented under Trudeau, and continuing under Carney and whoever takes over. Momentum generally wins, and on programs that big there are usually penalties big enough no one wants to pay out the same value to get SFA in return (like the EH 101s).
I'm sure there may be some moaning about mismanagement, promises to fix it, nothing changing in reality and victory being declared, but at a certain point you just ignore the political BS and keep your head down to get one with it.

I largely agree with you.
I think Canada is waking up to the fact that we need to fund our military. I think savings will be found elsewhere.

Everything going according to plan.

Jumping back to politics, C-22 keeps getting pushed forward by the liberals, while I see some major concerns with the bill, especially with the minister being able to compel companies to hand information over. Most of the other provisions still require a warrant to get the information. I can't help but find it ironic that it is very similar to the conservative Bill C-30 from 2012 that ultimately died which would of allowed warrentless access to online data by police. The conversation hasnt died, just changed hands of who is for it and against it.

Canada's birthdrate has been dropping for 15 years.
Our population has grown 23% or 8 million people in the last 15 years.
Making it easier to afford living and raising a family in Canada seems like a better plan than relying on a porous border to balance boogeyman birth rate concerns.

Birth rates are not a boogeyman concern.
Having enough working age population paying taxes to fund services to support an ever increasing older cohort is a reasonable concern to have.

Affordability is suppressing family formation and birth rates. Addressing housing costs, childcare costs, and wages is a more sustainable long-term solution than relying primarily on high immigration levels.
A country that can't afford to raise its own birth rate will eventually struggle to absorb ever growing population.
The birthrate is being used as a boogeyman to justify terrible immigration practices. Cost of living goes up, it's harder to raise a family, birthrate drops, we need more immigration to pay the bills.
