...despite the relatively modest size of their military, the Canadians do twice the amount of good in the world as all continental Europe combined.

Unfortunately a fair number of these pirates need to die to provide a societal memory to avoid this behavior for a couple of generations.

Good for Canada - apparently they and the French Navy are not impeded by the “stand down” orders issued by obama

The Canadians thwarted the pirates??? Are you sure they didn’t hockey the pirates or cut wood the pirates? Maybe they complained about the United States the pirates. Or maybe they gave the pirates mediocre socialized medicine.

I am glad Canada can do what we “seem” unable to do.

Maybe the Canadians can do what Herr Hussein cannot bring himself to do - save our ship captain!

not much good is it just intercepting them by rolling a banner satying stop

all this means is that the pirates move on to another ship to rob

Maybe the Canadians can rescue our hostage as US forces are stymied from doing so by Obama.

I’m glad the attack was thwarted, but with the exception of the pirates that had to throw their weapons overboard, their is no disincentive for them to try again.

Of course, they wouldn't understand.
