jdobbin Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 I mentioned earlier that Canada would probably be asked to help with a blockade. That idea was quickly shot down here. Well, lo and behold... http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/061117/...orea_canada_col Quote
scribblet Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Well, we do have some state of the art frigates. Maybe it is time that the rest of the world stepped up to the plate when it comes to being proactive in keeping the peace. Our navy was involved in boarding and searching tankers in the Persian Gulf looking for illegal crude-oil shipments from Iraq (before the war) Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province
jdobbin Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Posted November 18, 2006 Well, we do have some state of the art frigates.

Our navy was involved in boarding and searching tankers in the Persian Gulf looking for illegal crude-oil shipments from Iraq (before the war) I don't doubt Canada can do an interdiction. However, when I suggested that we'd be asked to do a couple of weeks ago, I was told by the right wing here that Canada had nothing to offer on the North Korean front. Now, I'm surprised to hear that Canada has sent a diplomat to North Korea. We basically have heard nothing from our government spokesmen on this. Quote
