I don't know if they really were going to do so but there was at least talk about it.
And the Canadians re-elected these people last month.
Naw, that was just the Liberal Gov'ts stupid bluster. Much like their stupid bluster with the Iranian gov't. Like they're going to listen to us now. The Libs only have themselves to blame for systematically dismantling our military. The Libs were voted back in, not by much, but enough to form a weak minority government. I suppose it's a start, but I'm still pretty depressed about my the state of my country and it's voters.
Be careful Iran, big mean Canada might come after you with our 12 Frigates and 4 destroyers!
Ahh.
It wasn't threatened by those who could make the decision.
Even suggesting something so drastic would have created a huge diplomatic "row."
