Canada found someone with a spine to run the country. Maybe France can do the same.

"It isn't simply between Iran and Great Britain. This has implications for all..."

What a shame Ms. Pelosi wouldn't come forth for Great Briton. Might have gotten in her unconstitutional Syrian visit................

World pressure mounting against Iran. This could yet boil over into a military strike, which is long overdue.

Canadian sailors have been in these waters, as well, in the past. And so again there is a direct impact on Canada.

Let's hope Canada's rules of engagement are more aggressive than those of the Brits. .....although I suspect they are.

The Iranians are going to milk this for as long as they can. Newt had the right idea. Warn them their only refinery will be destroyed if they are not released. The 15 are in grave danger. And intellegence can't find where they are at? Briton is getting some moral support, but the crap Pelosi and the dems are pulling now is making the situation much worse. I'm very concerned about where this situation and the US are headed.

The bass boats have holders for treble hooks.

We were listening to CBC news, yesterday and they never even mentioned the situation with Iraq. My husband remarked that they didn't even seem to recognize that a crisis situation existed.

The Canadian Navy has three destroyers, 12 frigates, 3 long-range patrol submarines, 3 oilers, 14 coastal defense vessels, and various training vessels.

The Canadian Navy is the only foreign navy to successfully operate as part of U.S. Carrier Battle Groups.

We did what we could in Iran back in 1979 (see: Canadian caper) until the U.S. got around to electing a real President in the person of Ronald Reagan and continue to have negative relations with said terror state for having stood with America on principle.

sigh ... how soon the forget.
