It was all about business and would have happened no matter who was in Ottawa.

Who really deserves the credit? The company for making a business agreement and the workers for making a good product.

REALLY???  do you ever get sick of being WRONG??

The armoured vehicles will be designed and manufactured in London making the city the centre of a national supply chain including more than 500 firms and resulting in the creation of more than 3,000 jobs, 40 per cent of which will be in southwestern Ontario.
“This is great news for the region,” said Kapil Lakhotia, Interim General Manager, London Economic Development Corporation.   “The defence industry is the type of technology-intensive advanced manufacturing cluster we are trying to nurture in London.”
The contract has been facilitated by the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC), the Government of Canada’s international government-to-government contracting organization.

“Using advanced technology, automation, as well as highly skilled workers, General Dynamics Land System Canada (GDLS-C) and other London defence companies are building products that are competitive in the global market,” said Lakhotia. “This new contract strengthens our advanced manufacturing cluster and provides sustainable employment opportunities in the long-term, thanks to the great work of GDLS-C, the Federal Government and our local supply chain.”

Do you ever get tired of being gullible? That was all political rhetoric. The Saudis made their decision based on the ability of a company to make a good product. The Saudis aren't short of money and they don't need deals, just well made merchandise. Thank the company and the workers first.

BUT it was the COMPANY  that   gave the credit to the Government ! Maybe you should stop in and ask them why!

I would agree the company gave the goverment credit but obviously for the political wow factor as earlier states saudi does not need deals or money just a good company to do the job so conisder the goverment more like the mediator and not the hero

And how many of these vehicles are going to find their way into countries that are hostile to Canada?
