Now the big question is, will the feds screw over the shipbuilders on the east(Irving in Halifax)) and west coast(Seaspan in Vancouver), now that Davie in Quebec has gotten a guarantee? Seems to be the Liberal thing to do.

I guess it's sad that not only do we assume that a government will screw someone over, we've come to expect it.

Screw over ? Probably not.
Delay, make changes, interfere, and make a complete mess of it ?
Absolutely.

Relax this is the only ship Davie got so the complaining by Seaspan and Iriving is nothing more than politicking.
Now with that being said, if the quality of Davie's shipyards is the same as the past this ship will be unfit sea, unfit alongside a very long time after it's turned over to the Gov't.

Yep, the cons screwed the tax payers again with a guaranteed $90 million, whether the deal was signed or not.

The Liberal thing to do?

This sole-source deal was signed by the former government and it would have cost taxpayers $89 million if the Liberals hadn't agreed to it.
Would you have bitched if they hadn't signed it and screwed the navy out of having AOR capability until the new ones are ready?
If so, you might want to go to your doctor and ask for something to treat what might be a case of TDS.
