The problem seems to be that kicking the can down the road over and over again has led to Canada needing new warships and new ferries at the same time; once the current batch of icebreakers and destroyers are finished, Seaspan and Irving are back to twiddling their thumbs waiting for a new contract for large vessels.
Like it or not, there isn't really a reason for the feds to subsidize a bunch of new shipyards that'll just sit empty too. If overseas exports doubled suddenly, maybe.
