Alright folks, the election is over and I've started this thread as hopefully a way of generating discussion on where we think the National Defence file is headed with the election of a Liberal Minority Government.
I personally think that for now, it will remain status quo but there are a few big tickets items this election could impact:
1. Future Fighter Procurement
2. NSS
3. RPA Procurement
I see Future Fighter Procurement getting pushed further right, the RCAF Brass will play it cool to the public (With the Trudeau Government pointing to pictures of Mark Norman with a bullseye on his head pour encourager les généraux!) but all will not be well behind the scenes.
Likewise, those Armed RPAs the CAF wants? Yah those are definitely getting punted very far to the right. Shipbuilding will continue to be supported because UNION JOBS JOBS JOBS! Thoughts?
