It's a Canadian Navy base now, with several ships headquartered here, although I'm pretty sure they can no longer fit through the tiny gap around that island.

howdy tonight sir Keith! oh Canada has a navy? lol. just teasing. yeah if one of those big ones tried to fit around that island they'd get stuck.

We're a country surrounded by ocean on three sides, and you lot on the other... Pretty sure we're going to need a wall soon!

wow no one talks about building a wall between us, we can't even get one built down South, I guess you guys would have to build it.

I imagine we'd just start with a five-foot-high privacy hedge, nothing too serious. Don't want to be rude... Shouldn't be more than about 5,500 miles long ;)

haha! that's hilarious sir Keith! Do the Canadians worry about rufians coming over from our side into your beautiful country?

Oh absolutely, bringing drugs, and handguns and crime. That's probably the case wherever there is a border if you think about it. I guess if you're into a certain kind of business there are often occasions when you need to "get out of Dodge", and borders are good for that if you make it! Law enforcement agencies on both sides of the border cooperate very closely. There are even cases where agents can cross the border, weapons drawn, in pursuit - although that hasn't happened too often.

@janton a sister ship of the one above is in the Black Sea today along with two US ships and one each from Italy, Germany, and Turkey. They are being threatened by the Russian navy and buzzed by jets.

holy moly I didn't know that but then I'm bad about following the news closely anymore If something big happens someone on steemit will post about it!
