Never fear the might of the formidable :marseycanada: Navy is here to protect the red sea

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-canada-to-join-us-led-naval-mission-to-safeguard-red-sea-from-iran

Canada is joining a U.S-led maritime force to protect commercial ships transiting the Red Sea that have come under attack from drones and ballistic missiles fired from parts of Yemen controlled by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

Canada's initial contribution will be a handful of personnel, two government sources said. One of the sources said these will be staff officers who will likely be assigned to work at a regional U.S. command and help with operational planning.

The ideal vessel for this maritime force would be an air-defence destroyer, able to handle threats such as anti-ship ballistic missiles, but Canada doesn't have such a capability at the moment.

>Stop right there Houthi scum!

Canadian defence procurement is always a fun ride

On 16 July 2010, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government announced that it intended to procure 65 F-35s to replace the existing 80 McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornets

On 19 October 2015, the Liberal Party of Canada under Justin Trudeau won a majority in part on a campaign promise to not buy the F-35, but instead "one of the many, lower-priced options that better match Canada's defence needs".

A formal competition was launched to select a new fighter, which included the F-35. On 28 March 2022, the government announced that the competition process had selected the F-35A

That's about as much of a contribution as they should make considering how much of the trade there is going to Canada. Watch as Europe makes a token contribution, Asia does nothing, and Cuckmerica ends up providing 90% of the force. Somebody remind wtf our national interest in this is supposed to be.

France and Britain will probably make a decent contribution. A Royal Navy ship has already started shooting at stuff in the red sea. Not sure what they're expecting from the Seychelles though

Canada's West Coast is an afterthought in terms of population. We have so many goods from Asia coming through the Suez to the East Coast through Halifax or Montreal.

The port in Vancouver is the largest in Canada.

Spread over 3700 acres, the port is as big as the next big five ports in Canada

Yes but because our population is East-biased we still have a lot of shipping on the East Coast.

Australia already refused to cooperate because they don't want to upset the Lakemba-Australians.

I think they're required to send a symbolic number of troops as a show of fealty.

They're literally sending 6 people to work from North Carolina doing phone calls and making sure the American's bottled water shows up on time. Canada said this is because:
