The Canadians can no longer adequately defend it:
The navy is back down to one working submarine.
Of the four used subs Canada acquired from Britain for $891 million, Halifax’s HMCS Windsor is the only one that can go to sea. HMCS Victoria has stopped sailing from its British Columbia base and will go into an extended docking work period next month that will last almost two years.
“We have no choice,” said Lieut. Diane Grover of navy public affairs.
We had better strike now. The Canadians will enter the 20th century in a matter of months. Well, 30 or 40:
The navy expects to see its first sub fully operational and able to fire torpedoes by 2009.
BTW, Happy Canada Day to all of my Canadian readers. Enjoy your first of July celebration while you can, before we subjugate you and force you to celebrate the fourth of July with us.
