HMCS Fredericton (Royal Canadian Navy)
Ottawa Citizen: Canadian Navy finds “heavy” Russian presence in Black Sea – Who would have thought?
A couple of Defence Watch readers have pointed to a new Jane’s defence magazine article titled, “Canadian frigate encountered ‘heavy Russian presence’ in Black Sea.”
Jane’s was quoting the captain of HMCS Fredericton: “During its Black Sea mission, Fredericton encountered “a heavy Russian presence”, Commander Trevor MacLean told IHS Jane’s via a phone interview from the ship,” the magazine noted.
But one Defence Watch reader pointed this out: “So a Canadian warship sails thousands of nautical miles into Russia’s back yard – into a body of water which borders on Russia and where Russian naval forces have operated for hundreds of years – and our navy wonders why it encountered a heavy Russian presence? They’re kidding right?”

WNU Editor: The Canadian defensive budget is being cut to the "bone", but it appears that they have enough money to go sailing in the Black Sea.

OMG!!!!!!!!
There are Russians in Russia????????????
Fist of all what other people must understand, that Black Sea is not a Russian lake ! Naval forces of other nations(like:Ukraine, Romania,Bulgaria,Turkey,Greek and Georgian how have part of Black Sea) have and are operated here,before evan rusia did have a fleet.
Because our American master told us to be there, Canada is to the US, as was Gaul to Rome, it's just the way it is. Canada has never been independent, we were under British Rule till the Empire broke up and then we were taken over by the Yanks, it just the way it is.It was Obama's people that ran Trudeau's election campaign, so who do you think run that little turkey.
This may be of interest I found it on Yahoo and on the CBC site."Canada considers European troop commitment as CSIS warns Russia is 'mobilizing for war'." Apparently they informed the Govt of this just recently.
I spotted the same article TWN. It is in fact my next post. Thanks for the headsup.
CSIS... the Government should purge 'em.
I saw this too TWN,
the hysteria needs to stop.
I'm expecting a provocation in the Baltic States any time now.
