A sub has more than the single purpose you mentioned. You can’t just hand-wave away their most critical role: intelligence gathering.

If it was about spending as much money as possible we wouldn’t be buying from South Korea as they manufacture vessels faster, and cheaper, than other countries. If we built these at home they’d probably cost 5x as much, we’d get them 10 years late, and they’d be riddled with issues.

I’m trying to see your point. Do you want us to increase our shipbuilding capacity to build these in Canada, or do you not want subs at all?

Do you want the government to give all of this money to our local shipbuilding industry so that they can continue to gouge taxpayers? They can’t even provide our military with the equipment they won bids for without inflating costs and timelines by an exorbitant amount, and that’s not even for subs which are significantly more complicated than something like a supply or patrol ship. At least Davies shipyard was able to provide the CAF with a supply ship within reason, but others, like Irving, are a giant money pit.

Ah, so they’re just rolling out viable models now, so we should build infrastructure based on something that’s just starting to be viable in that one specific location? Nah.

I’m not sure you know what moving the goal posts means.

Not even Japan is mass adopting hydrogen vehicle infrastructure, why would we? How many hydrogen cars are on the road?

Mass transit? Yes 100%. Hydrogen vehicle infrastructure? No. Not at a mass scale, or not on the near future, anyway.

How many hydrogen cars are on the road in Canada? A few hundred, maybe a few thousand? We’re not going to build infrastructure around a concept when even the heaviest adopters of that concept aren’t fully behind it.

The article mentions that the weather was affecting flights home for workers, not affecting the ability to vote. In this case, there’s no need to delay the vote. The workers could’ve kept working and should’ve been offered accommodations due to a delayed flight home.

Waiting for the storm to pass would’ve included polling stations opening, remaining opening until voting closed, and accommodating workers who wouldn’t have been able to leave on a plane as scheduled. Denying Canadians the ability to vote on election day so that the workers could ensure they made it home as scheduled to not be inconvenienced is unacceptable.

Edit: I was partially wrong, accessing locations was part of the article: “In several cases, it was not possible to recruit local teams. In other cases, harsh weather conditions have prevented access to communities.”

Anti-Conservative sentiment in Quebec. The Bloc is never going to hold a majority, so strategically at this time the Liberals were the obvious choice to keep the Conservatives out of power. Among other things.
