In a very general way, I've always thought that Canada, being relatively secure in its borders and coasts, would do well to invest in a larger navy. Multi-purpose ships, well defended against ASM & subs, with strong ASW capability. I'm talking about numerous ships. Canada could assume the role of "protector of the lanes of commerce" Yeah, sell us a lot of oil, and protect the tankers coming out of the gulf.
Not really a well informed opinion here, so don't be surprised if I seem a bit "out of the loop". (Besides I've been stuck AWAKE at work for 3 days, so I'm running on nothing but COFFEE!!!!)
