I thought Canada was supposed to be distancing itself from America? I mean we are told to buy Canadian and to avoid going down there for vacation . Yet we are still doing military exercises and missions with the Americans. I get NORAD AND SAR, but the rest? Enough already!

Some people may not see the very fine distinction between drug interdiction and the other activities undertaken by US forces.

I tried and failed to account for the alleged 123 metric tons of cocaine they've seized using the past 20 years of press releases and news coverage. They don't publish the yearly stats online, and confuse the number by including more than just seized, also disrupted, whatever that means.

Also, Op Caribbe is Canada's contribution to Op Martillo, which is a Southcom operation. SOUTHCOM is responsible for Op Southern Spear, which has been murdering people on the high seas. There's no reason Op CARIBBE needs to happen at all in 2026, the Carney government are choosing to ignore the extrajudicial killings and pretend nothing is happening.

This information is definitely not good. We can’t be seen as being even remotely complicit in these American led operations.
