I certainly am excited about the prospective of Halifax getting the shipbuilding contract (hopefully the largest one). It would be a monumentous opportunity which would have a major impact on the economic well-being of the entire province.
It is a good time to start such a thread - I don't think that there was one before, since I wanted to post some information a few days ago.
There is a website where people can show their support for Nova Scotia to build the ships. The website has close to 5,400 signatures in support. In order to see the map of people who support the Nova Scotia shipbuilding bid, go to this link
