Canadian navy staff officers and military circles are 99% staunch conservatives. Obviously shocked to see   Trudeau's liberals elected, they immediately started strategizing how to intervene in the shadows  to influence decisions in matters of shipbuilding project. Multiplying contacts with industry such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Irving, BAE etc.....without government knowledge. This is not a precedent though. Some of us remember the 90's....High ranking naval officers who lobbied both the government and companies before the CFP contacts were approved, "conveniently" left the military after contacts were signed and started working for the winning companies in management positions. But this time, they got caught.
