Canada not only has a navy, but it also has a Naval Academy. One of my neighbors graduated from it.

This is what happens when our media is only interested in making the impeached 42's legacy sparkle for him, and try to make GW's tarnished. We miss out on everything else in the world!

That's a pretty lame-looking frigate. What is it armed with? Cheeseapults? TMDS(Theatre Moose Defense System)?

True story:

Canada volunteered to send a warship to the Gulf
during the war against Iraq.

Unfortunately, the only available ship had no gun.

So a gun was retrieved from a military museum and installed.

The first time the gun was test fired
it fell off and was lost in the sea.

In a somewhat related story, the French Olympic Team conceded defeat in all events midway through the opening ceremony Friday night.

"We saw that the Phillipines had a competitor in the games, evaluated our chances and decided to go drown our sorrows in a bottle of wine" said a member of the bobsled team who wished to remain annonymous. "We thought we'd be better off tackling some Brie instead" remarked his partner.

Another competitor, a downhill skier, was heard to mutter something about making sure the slopes remained shaded. Athletes from other countries were not surprised. "Our first thought when we saw that the Phillipines was fielding a competitor was that the French were in trouble. They've been skittish for the last 60 years or so, but we've always managed to convince them to compete with promises of free cheese and some 'shrooms" confided a snowboarder from Switzerland.

If the Canadians didn't have guns, were they to urinate on the other vessle as a weapon?

The Canandians are fine military people. Some of us seem to forget that they seized one of the five landing beaches in Normandy on D-Day. And their navy did much of the escorting of convoys to England during WWII as well.
