New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

BC is not a bilingual Province and never has been. You can however be served in Mandarin, Hindi, Vietnamese and Tegula.

Probably a better chance of getting served in German as well.

We're talking BC, not Argentina.

As opposed the the great supports for Francophone families in Halifax and Esquimalt?

no argument except numbers. Will locating a portion of the fleet in Quebec encourage francophone enlistment to the point where it will substitute for the loss of anglophone crew members accepting transfers to La Belle Province? And which ships will it be: AOR's, the JSS as a stand alone, the subs? Because there is no point in establishing a naval port for a partial fleet at least not to my civilian eyes and the ship(s) involved will end up with an all french crew eventually.

Just noted that Davies has a contract with the U.S. government to build five ice breakers for the coast guard. Two from Finland and 3 domestically produced with the first delivered in 2028. I wonder if they will cut steel for any of ours in Quebec by then?

Domestically in the US, it’s for their new US company.

and you don't suppose the funding provided by various governments for improvements in Quebec didn't help with the purchase of all these off-shore businesses? How are those improvements coming along by the way does anybody know? Will they be contributing to the NSS programme anytime soon? Their heavy ice breaker will be built in Finland as was the superstructure for the conversion they did. So when do the people of Quebec start seeing ships being built across the river.? Have we been taken or am I just blowing steam?

I was under the Impression that the Finnish Yard is building the Main Ice Breaking Hull and the top workings will be built in Quebec. So a cold Ship will be towed across the Atlantic sometimes in the future.

Neither is Quebec (legally).
