Salmon and other commercially harvested fish species enter chat. Also lends itself well to DFO being called "Fish and ships"Why the hell isn't it "Cod Cops"!?

I'm going to start another threat for this discussion tomorrow (just got in from work iand I'm gassed). We can tear it apart there as I have some rather chauvanistic opinions on the issue, lol
MCDV that intercepted a Chinese "civilian" ship in the arctic had a converstion with RJOC went something like this:Yea it really frustrated me when RJOC would say "what the heck are you doing?" when we would hail vessels in the MARLOAs who were either not shining on AIS, or their IMO didn't match their AIS data... like... it's literally in the standing OPTASK RMP.
Almost like they have a clear cut defense policy and white paper to inform their actions......My encounters with Chinese entities have all been super open about what they are doing. They really don’t care what we think about them and they are relentless.
I wouldn’t say that…Almost like they have a clear cut defense policy and white paper to inform their actions......
No, they just really don’t care what Canada thinks of them. We are a non-entity.Almost like they have a clear cut defense policy and white paper to inform their actions......
It isn’t just that Canada is a non-entity, it’s that Canada acts like a non-entity - even back when it was a major middle power.No, they just really don’t care what Canada thinks of them. We are a non-entity.
No- irritatingly, we think we matter. But, we won’t put any actual work into mattering.It isn’t just that Canada is a non-entity, it’s that Canada acts like a non-entity - even back when it was a major middle power.
I don’t think they are mutually exclusive which is even more annoyingNo- irritatingly, we think we matter. But, we won’t put any actual work into mattering.
Meanwhile our man in Havana......
You have to admit, sending an AOP's to tail them is a major diss. "Your not worth sending a CFP". On the plus side excellent training for the AOP;s crew and a port where their dollar goes far.
I was having some Saturday morning fun, you do remember the movie "Our man in Havana"?We also sent VDQ, and an MPA.
Having said that, what you think sending the AOPs means, is not what sending the AOPs actually means.
That is actually pretty normal.Is it supposed to look that rusty?

I was aboard the RUS ships that visited Halifax in '93 (I think it was '93?) and they had all of their missile hatches painted shut.I have friends who did the Vladivostok port visit in the 1990s.
The Russians just paint over everything, including the rust, hinges, doors and hatches…
