Forgive me, but so the Auroras took some pretty pictures of the illegal fishing boats. Big deal. I want to know what was done to intercept them and seize them and then prosecute their crews.
Without the planes, we wouldn't even know they were there...besides, the CF is a bunch of lawyers.
Actual enforcement is someone else jobs, probably the DFO.
Ottawa is preparing a strongly worded letter of protest for their govt. Should this happen again we won't be sitting next to them during lunch at the UN.
Yeah, that's about what I expect. The Navy (Canada and/or the US) should seize these criminals, prosecute them, jail them, and sink or scrap their vessels as a message to any other lawbreakers.
