HMCS Winnipeg wards off suspected Somali pirates
http://www.winnipegsun.com/news/canada/2009/04/06/9019461-sun.html

The only part about this report that I don't believe is the part about our Sea King, 40 year old helicopter, actually accomplishing something without falling into the sea!

Too bad they didn't sink those speed boats and kill all the pirates so they won't be able to attack another ship.

Time to play hard-ball imo.

I bet you the speedboats could outrun our helicoptors, which were probably on a barge being pulled!
lol!

From the Captain of HMCS Winnipeg:
"They are in this for economic gain only and so they know that if they
ever tried to engage a ship or a helicopter, it would end badly for
them."

No kidding. The Sea Kings may be old but Canadian made machine guns work quite well.

No one said you have to be smart to be a pirate!

Anybody see the CBC spot about the pirates on the 10 pm news?

Without a navy, the Somalis cannot enforce their fishing rights. They claim this is only a tax they're taking from the fishermen. It's expanded a bit though.

The CBC should know about pirates. Taking money that they didn't earn, holding innocent people hostage, kind of sounds like the CBC themselves.
