love the four new double hull tankers that IOL had built offshore instead of the Saint John yard doing them . Isn't it great to have loyality such as the Irvings amongst us , how faithfull the men and women of SJSL were to them during the Frigate program and the promises they madeto them ? Great people they are??????

Disgusting is more like it or criminal or just not morally right but oh yes as long as they have money rolling in and we the little people are left to pay the taxes everyone is happy in Saint Irvingville. They don't want anyone to tax incentives or share the wealth. They get the millions and billions, grants, crown land and tax breaks and lots more!

When will the people of Saint John stand up to the Irvings and say enough is enough . If the protest against the tax deal fizzles out then Saint Johners deserve what they get.. worked at the shipyard for 25 yrs and got an insight from fellow workers who liked to show me how the Irving's
purchased through other Irving companies. They made hundreds of millions if not billions off the backs of the workers at the yard. Irvings good for Saint John Ha. Take a drive around SJ that should answer any doubts. Energy Hub?Is that like Center of Excellence for the Frigate program? Get out of SJ Irvings someone else will take your place a la Home Depot

Clowns in Ottawa screwed us by not supporting shipbuilding here. If the Frigate program was still ago someone else could have filled Irvings shoes when they decided it wasn't profitable enough to make ships here.

Why are we in the Canadian federation if the federal government gives us nothing.

I figure it was a pissing match between the Irvings and the labour union at the yard. How much do you think the Irvings made on the 10 billion program. The Ottawa thing was just good public relations for Irving....blame it on someone else

I doubt the Irvings have the power to orcastrat such a coup.
