Iran
Apologies, thread drift is down to my bad, following the trail into the weeds of allies who are prepared to look past historical differences. However, since a considerable number of politicians at the top of the Canadian Government are of Quebecois origin, and there is more than a hint of French sympathy floating around, supporting an English initiative is less of a driver than you might think.
By the way, there is nothing small about Quebec, take a look at a world map.
Get the drift?

Perhaps then, Les Quebecois might influence the RCAF's future fighter programme office towards the excellent Dassault Rafale? The Polaris crews with whom I've worked were hugely impressed by the Rafale's capabilities during the Libyan campaign.

Lets compare Quebec to the UK for instance......by land area.

Select Country, Province (Canada/Quebec) and United Kingdom and check the results.
The mistake made was in the treaty in 1763. Wolfe bothered because it was a key strategic objective of the campaign.
Before I visited Montreal the first time, I was warned to speak English with a distinctly American accent, if they thought I was Canadian speaking English they would ignore me. Absolutely correct - and quite obvious.
If my Canadian friends in BC are in any way representative, the rest of Canada would be happy to see them go...

Personally I think it's totally incredible that these enormously arrogant people don't get with the program and speak English like everyone in the world should for our convenience.
They just think everyone should speak French (at least other Canadians).

That article says nothing useful.
Which ship, where was it loaded, who owned the cargo, where was it too unload?
Was it Iranian Oil from an Iranian Port or was it from a non-Iranian Port headed to an Non-Iranian port?
From a better source.....at least there is some detail and background info in this article.

If true,what it does say is that the International community is pretty hopeless.

If the British navy again caves in as pathetically as it did during the last interception by armed Iranian fast RIBs in 2007 then the correct description is 'hopeless'.

Just a question - what would you have done, in a RIB and armed with a SA80 and a 9mm pistol, when IRGCN boats armed with 12.7mm and 14.5mm Heavy Machine Guns surround you?
If you are interested - the Fulton report was released under the Freedom of Information Act.

I'm not exactly an 'armchair warrior'. I'm a former member of No. 40 Commando and my actions would not have included the pathetic act of surrender that, when it became known, was so damaging to the international reputation of specifically our navy and generally our armed forces.
Resolution, linked to a clear cut extraction plan appeared to be lacking. Thank you for the link.
