#1 Yummy, Whale steaks. The clowns go looking for confrontation, on the high seas that is piracy. They ought to have their vessel seized and be put under arrest with no bail.

#3 at the French island of Miquelon, off Newfoundland's south coast, while waiting for the hunt to resume next week.

The Farley Mowat was forced out of the harbour at Miquelon's neighbouring French island of St-Pierre Friday when angry fishermen cut its mooring lines with axes, Mr. Watson said

French? Whut???

#4 France has two crappy little islands just off Newfoundland. They used to support the cod fishery, until it was shut down. Ironically, the shutdown destroyed the economy of the 5-6000 people there, and the seal cull will help fish stocks rebound. I'm surprised they let the eco-terrorists anchor there. I was kinda hoping for a Rainbow Warrior replay.

~~What makes you think they're not planning such a thing, Vanc?~~ I'm sure they would never do that, Vanc.
