The Canadian government has awarded a six-year contract worth $8 billion to Irving Shipbuilding, owned by the Irving dynasty, for building three new destroyers for the Canadian navy. Total cost will reach at least $22 billion.
The government claims the deal will create jobs and contribute to the economy, but the money could be better spent on poverty elimination, sustainable development, climate action, healthcare, and education.
