Yes, even from up here in the hills, you could smell the stench of burying the Coast Guard in the Fisheries Dept. What one really wonders is how they''re still alive.
And what about the whole ridiculousness of perpetuating S&R on our coasts in the forces. The Coast Guard would have been more than capable of assuming the complete mandate on our coasts, and the forces of looking after the onshore role. But the petty territorial jealousies so common in the forces wouldn''t be likely to let any capital-rich role go if they could withhold it. Just like we need submarines, for God''s sake!
I''ll say it again - we shouldn''t be standing around here talking - we should be marching on Ottawa! Up the rebels!
