POLS 375 Lecture Notes - Turbot War
Document Summary
Canada has officially extended its mission in mali for at least another 30 days. In 1995, 500 canadian troops were stationed in haiti as part of a un force to assist the haitian government following the re-establishment of civilian control. Similarly, we are good in mali, as we can speak french . There was a huge concern about dwindling fish stocks. The spanish continue to fish heavily, but they are fishing outside of canada"s territorial waters. Canada, however, says they must stop and it sends a ship to stop a vessel. They were using nets considered illegal in canada. The vessel cut the net and ran for it. The balkan situation in 2000 is winding down. Canadian forces are now being withdrawn from the balkans. We have a problem: we don"t have a way of bringing canadian troops home. An american firm was contracted to bring home stuff.
