Re: Canadian Forces Photos
Canadian forces, along with their US, Australian, UK, etc. compatriots are fighting people who, if they could, would get through to and kill as many Canadians as possible. They have proven a willingness to do so, and try to do so in virtually every civilized nation.
...and of course they are not in their "right mind," as we would define it. They want to blow themselves up for their God and their religion and kill ans many innocent infidels as possible to obtain their "heaven," for pete's sake.
Very difficult, if not impossible, to "negotiate with," or reason with such people.
But that's why...and do not think if you just "leave them alone," that they will leave you alone. They most certainly will not.
They are still going strong and now undergoing a significant modernization and life extension program to keep them at sea until 2030.
What has become of the Single Class Surface Combatant Project to replace the Iriquis Destroyers? Will Canada go Horizon/Daring, or AEGIS? I believe three of the DDGs similar to what Australia is doing would be outstanding, but Horizon/FREMM would be equally impressive if outfitted fully.
The involvement is so that Canadians of reason and good intent can be free and safe to continue to help the poor in Canada, in places like East Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and any number of other places.

The Halifax Class are EXCELLENT vessels! Canada built 12 of these outstanding frigates and commissioned all of them in four years between 1992 and 1996. That was averaging three per year all four years and was very impressive.

[h=2]Exercise MAPLE ARCH 2012[/h]
[h=2]Exercise MAPLE ARCH 2012[/h]
Canadian Forces instructors and staff work with troops from Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine to reinforce knowledge of counterinsurgency (COIN) operations during this year’s Exercise MAPLE ARCH at the Pabrade Training Area just outside of Vilnius, Lithuania. Focusing on counterinsurgency (COIN) operations (cordon and search, convoy operations, improvised explosive device (IED) lanes, and force protection) this year’s training is done at the section and platoon level and culminates in a combined confirmation company level exercise.
Exercise MAPLE ARCH is an annual joint military exercise designed to introduce selected Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Polish trainers to key aspects of NATO Peace Support Operations (PSOs) in order to facilitate home unit pre-deployment training. Under the Canadian Forces Directorate of Military Training and Cooperation (DMTC), and through the mentoring of these Canadian Forces specialists, knowledge gained from formal lectures and demonstrations during this exercise are reinforced through practical application and practice. Since 1999, Exercise MAPLE ARCH has continued to use the most current operational experiences gathered throughout PSOs around the world to assist participating nations increase their overall effectiveness and coordination in working with diverse international forces during coalition PSOs.
