"The logical solution is to put in of net a sonar bouy's. Stage some CP-140 for dedicated sub hunting, equip these patrol boats with long range standoff weapons like harpoon antiship missiles, and drop the Victoria class submarines which are problematic at best and purchase a couple of German U-212 attack submarines which could work in the artic because they use an air independant propulsion system."
That is a great idea!
The sad thing is that Canada, as a resource rich country, really depends on weak foreign diplomacy and the United States military to protect us.
What happens when the US wants to invade, or is no longer interested in, or able to, protect us? Stranger things have happened. I don't think this country is well positioned enough to protect ourselves from a foreign threat should it ever arise.
