Are you frigging kidding me? A Harper Minister making a decision on an Icebreaker?
Unbelievable, not one of these incompetent fools have been trained in the design and procurement of a "stapler' never mind something as critical as an icebreaker .
I know it is hard for conservatives to understand but Canada once had a highly qualified department that was well trained, experienced and highly capable of making decisions.
So why would an idiot oversee something as important as this...... they need photo ops
That's right Canada it is all about getting their face in the news.... putting a positive spin on an already troubled purchase. The ships are over priced.... we know that from past experience with this and the F-35
Harper government rejects offer to save $500M on new icebreaker
Public Works Minister Diane Finley has firmly rejected an offer by Quebec's Davie shipyard to save the government half a billion dollars on a new icebreaker.
Finley told reporters Thursday that "it's very hard to believe" that Davie could actually build the icebreaker for the budget originally set six years ago.
"I don't see how any reasonable person could suddenly believe they can do the same job for half the price," she said.
The new icebreaker — dubbed the Diefenbaker — was originally priced in 2008 at $720 million. However, since construction has been delayed for at least 10 years, that figure's been drastically revised to $1.3 billion.

Wake up Canada...... countries around the World have purchased Icebreakers far below the price the Harper government has agreed to pay..... so why does Finley want to overpay?
