Here's a look at ridings where voters can expect federal byelections to be called
Richard Martel and Nate Erskine-Smith resigned their seats in the House of Commons on Tuesday, setting a clock ticking ahead of a pair of byelections in Quebec and Ontario — and they are not the only ones.

I know it's the job of the opposition to do opposition things, but man...
You know exactly how this would be worded if a contract was signed on the spot, and will be worded once we do.

Wife to Husband: "Honey, we're pregnant! I'm about 12 weeks along!"

This one got me. To me the government’s messaging created the impression that the submarine deal was effectively done once the bids and promises and timeliness were in and we went with a winner.
Wiser minds understand we could be dickering over contract details for the next two plus years. Or 13 years, as in the case of the F35.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the contract is signed before this year ends.
The longer that it goes further on, the more uncertainty that it creates within the Norwegian and German navies - 'Are we or are we not giving them a boat and we should be training a crew for X date or should we not be training a crew by X date.'

Under the Conservatives it looks like the AOPS took 3 years and 3 months from decision to contract. I can see Carney pushing for a quicker timeframe, benefits of having a business minded boss and not a politician.

By then we could have a CPC government who would cancel the deal as revenge for Chretien cancelling the EH-101.

Canada's $9-billion jet fighter deal raises questions
Critics ask whether such sophisticated and pricey planes are crucial to military needs
www.theglobeandmail.com
Yeah, in contrast to when Prime Minister Harper announced in 16 July 2010, Canada’s intention to buy 65 F-35s. The contract was signed right after that…..
Albertan here. Its always good to remember that Calgary and Edmonton represent approx. 55% of Alberta voters. As a group, the large city residents are much less slavishly devoted to PP that the rurban and rural residents.

Imagine the blowback when German car companies or whatever other industrial benefits are cancelled if PP does that.

That's why the F35 and the EH101s were so easy to cancel. There wasn't much in terms of stakes.
That's why Carney is tying these up with Canadian jobs and Canadian industry as opposed to simply signing the deal. Sure, PP may want to cancel but if doing so leads to layoffs of XXXX many canadians, he may think twice.
Another reason I want the Gripen. Canadian politicians are less likely to cancel orders when its Canadian jobs on the line, example, GDLS
They were more than just signing though. Didn't they have to go through the design certification and costing first? From what I have heard the 212CD is an off-the -shelf purchase with I am guessing the installation of 110 power.

Interesting. David McGuinty and Doug Guzman were in attendance. I wonder if GCAP was a point of conversation on top of the LNG, oil, and nuclear talks.

Basically Avi is unelectable. Every actual election (outside NDP leadership race filled with blue haired crazies) he has lost.
The NDP is withering on the vine, sad to say.

No strategic error that has been made at the federal level over the past 50 years has been greater than Pierre Poilievre demolishing Jagmeet Singh and the NDP.
If Canada becomes a two party (plus the BQ) political system, I don't know what the CPC does.
