If I d this snippet from a news report today to be interesting -
“
That is what makes next week’s closed-door visit to Sweden by Industry Minister Mélanie Joly (also minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions), and Stephen Fuhr, secretary of state for defence procurement, all the more interesting from a geopolitical perspective.
Joly and Fuhr will meet with Ebba Busch, Sweden’s deputy prime minister (also business and industry minister), and Pål Jonson, Sweden’s minister for defence, “to advance their collaboration” and “deepen the Canada–Sweden relationship,” an advisory about their visit says.”
It could we are looking in the wrong directly when we think Sweden, SAAB and Gripen, when we might be better off thinking Sweden, SAAB and A26.
Maybe the focus is a joint development with SAAB and Davy? in a joint venture tire to say build the first 7-8 subs in Sweden and then the last 4-5 at Davy? I’m totally speculating on Davy for 2 reasons, first only shipyard left with the infrastructure/size/availability to potentially be in a position to build subs in the 8yrs+ timeframe and, second, potential carrot to dangle in front of Quebec getting on board and saying ‘yes’ to a new oil/gas pipeline/terminal east of Quebec City or dropping down to New Brunswick at Saint John’s Irving facility. This approach gets Quebec on board with an expanded Davy shipyard and the jobs with it, keeps Irving happy with a new pipeline to its refinery in Saint John, which lessens the blow of losing out on Davy getting the sub work.
I’m spit balling here, but it’s the type of horse trading that will need to happen to get theses big infrastructure projects built.

Coupled with a downturn in the economy, with Condo's sales in Vancouver in freefall, expect a lot of trades to be looking for work soon out here.
