I hearby announce a one-thread moratorium on making fun of Canada.
This applies only to myself, and the policy is subject to revision at whim.

I thought I recall reading a year or two ago that most of their navy was mothballed due to lack of money. I thought there were only a couple ships left active. Oh well...

Sure glad that Canada could send an icebreaker to the Gulf of Mexico!! That'll be real handy there.....
All kidding aside, the help is much appreciated and shows neighbors can put aside differences to help each other.... and I'm sure the icebreaker can do plenty of useful things beside clear lanes to the Arctic....

I'm grateful for their help.
I'm also surprised as I didn't know they had so many ships.
