Salmon and other commercially harvested fish species enter chat. Also lends itself well to DFO being called "Fish and ships"

I'm going to start another threat for this discussion tomorrow (just got in from work iand I'm gassed). We can tear it apart there as I have some rather chauvanistic opinions on the issue, lol
MCDV that intercepted a Chinese "civilian" ship in the arctic had a converstion with RJOC went something like this:
MCDV - Hey that Chinese ship you told us about, we found it.
RJOC - OK don't talk to it, we want you to observe
MCDV - To late we hailed them, they told us they were here basically to spy on us
RJOC -WTF? Why would you do that?
MCDV - Its our job dumbass
At least in my head cannon the conversation went like that. From what I was told the Chinese ship was super open on what they were doing.

My encounters with Chinese entities have all been super open about what they are doing. They really don’t care what we think about them and they are relentless.

Almost like they have a clear cut defense policy and white paper to inform their actions......

No, they just really don’t care what Canada thinks of them. We are a non-entity.

It isn’t just that Canada is a non-entity, it’s that Canada acts like a non-entity - even back when it was a major middle power.

No- irritatingly, we think we matter. But, we won’t put any actual work into mattering.

I don’t think they are mutually exclusive which is even more annoying

Meanwhile our man in Havana......
You have to admit, sending an AOP's to tail them is a major diss. "Your not worth sending a CFP". On the plus side excellent training for the AOP;s crew and a port where their dollar goes far.

We also sent VDQ, and an MPA.
Having said that, what you think sending the AOPs means, is not what sending the AOPs actually means.

Then it appears the Russian ship must have gotten out of drydock recently, because it does not appear to have as many rust streaks.

I have friends who did the Vladivostok port visit in the 1990s.
The Russians just paint over everything, including the rust, hinges, doors and hatches…

I was aboard the RUS ships that visited Halifax in '93 (I think it was '93?) and they had all of their missile hatches painted shut.
