Lol, Canada dances to a polka while the US/UK/AUS has graduated and moved on to a complicated waltz.
Cool...but with what submariners?Meanwhile......

New details about Australia's plan to transition to an all nuclear submarine fleet have emerged during intense questioning in Canberra.

Polka?! Canada is sitting on the bench in gym looking at the dancers, thinking "I wonder if I give my lunch money to China in the smoking area will they may leave me alone?"
I'll go (my wife would jump too but she's an RN)! .......hmmm as I look over my CV......would my lack of Nuclear anything and dearth of Navy training in general be a show stopper?Cool...but with what submariners?
A country doesn't aggressively try to recruit foreign nationals (Lateral Transfers, they call it) because they're flush and can retain their own people.
Also, while living near a city is great, it's not so great when "the big city" next to yours (Perth) is one of the most isolated cities in the world.
Where is the world’s most remote city?
One Russian city sits on a distant peninsula surrounded by volcanoes. Iquitos, in the heart of the Amazon jungle, has no roads leading in or out. Then there are contenders in Tibet, Greenland, Australia …

You really think that they believe it at all? If you do I will sell you another bridge. They are tools to achieve control the same as lockdowns and legalising drugs are.

Cynically, I believe only Guilbault actually believes it. The others appreciate it’s just a tool to influence the masses.
I would not get too excited by this. This does not mean that the gov't is serious about replacing the Victoria Class submarines. I would start to pay more attention when the other AIP submarine manufacturers start developing Cdn partnerships in order to position themselves for a possible request for information from the Cdn gov't.I was looking at naval news and this was there

I'm sure the new White Paper will be worth as much as SSE... Virtue signals, with no clear direction or purpose.
Both parties are short submariners, which was what @dimsum was pointing out. The RAN is actively recruiting trained people from other countries, because they can't train and retain their own... I guess it might open doors for some Yanks who hate Washington, Hawaii, and Maine...
Not just the RAN. The Australian Defence Force in general is very well known for lateral recruitment.
FIFY.Any politician, IMO:
Gone or always was in a different direction. SE Asia isn't really our backyard. But N Asia is. So if we are going to do work it needs to be there. That's why I like this S Korean sub idea. Reinforces a regional alliance.
Canada's interests seem to have gone in pretty much the same direction as NZ's.
Not saying this as a justification, but the US-Canada relationship is very similar to the Australia-NZ relationship.
