Defence Minister Rob Nicholson said the ship is being dispatched as part of a broader Canadian message to Russian President Vladimir Putin that Ottawa disapproves of his government’s involvement in the Ukraine. “Whether it be with the deployment of this ship, with the deployment of our air force and the soldiers we have had on the ground we are absolutely committed to sending out the message that what Putin has done is unacceptable,” the minister said after the departure ceremonies.
We don't have an Army >.>
I never once even implied we should do this. This is sending a bad message to the world about Canadians.
But hey Syria is the real agenda here right now

From the never happened
Canadians Are Angry,Canadian frigate departs for Mediterranean Sea over Ukraine crisis
Oh Grand Joe Harper is playing with fire and after this announcement Canadians want Harper gone and the majority of the Canadians are upset about it, sending a frigate to the Mediterranean it seems no doubt near Syria. Why else would you send a battleship near the Mediterranean sea? i wonder whose country are they going to provoke with? Syria? Serbia?

So sending a frigate into the Mediterranean Sea over Ukraine crisis is not provokiong the bear is it now? its only spreading peace and protection right?

They replaced the ship because the other one was buzzed by the Russian mig fighters
HMCS Fredericton will replace HMCS Toronto, which left Halifax in July and began its NATO mission in August. "Toronto needs you. They've been there a long time and they want to come home and have their Christmas. To them, the best gift will be to see you arriving in Spain and doing a turnover with them," said Rear Admiral John Newton during Tuesday's news conference
and how is sending a frigate being a normal part of the cycle
#2 - No where in the article does it even discuss Canadians being angry. The article actually shows support for the military.
Angela Rose's husband is also aboard HMCS Fredericton. She tries to help her two-year-old son Charlie keep track of his dad.
"We've got a big map of the world at home and a little picture of a ship with his dad's face on it, and we'll move it around and I'll talk to him about it," Rose said.

Seriously - at what point are you going to stop using misleading / blatantly false titles for your threads?
the ship is meant to send a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin that his involvement in Ukraine is "unacceptable.”
So how long should it have stayed over there? As you can see, it is just a routine changeover.

I guess you dont read the comment sections of the articles nor search the Canadian forums for reactions oh well.

The reason i tilted the thread as it is, is because we Canadians are angry over this issue and how Harper is destorying Canada image to the world.

The reasoning they changed the ship was because of this.
Russian military planes buzzed HMCS Toronto in Black Sea
The frigate HMCS Toronto left Halifax in late July to replace HMCS Regina, which has been a part of the Standing NATO Maritime Forces since May.
So its not routine changeover at all, otherwise the article would have stated now would it?
