Perhaps a boost for the Liberals, provincially and federally--Gordo's pals are Martin men as well. <br /> <br />Personally I don't think this will make the Liberals any more popular--but it will give us training ships that aren't 50 years old. <img align=absmiddle src='images/smilies/cool.gif' alt='Cool'> <br /> <br />If it does shut BC up, then it doesn't take much to shut BC up--80 million is nothing for the federal government....our frigates cost 500 million each.
