HMCS Ottawa has close encounter with a Chinese navy ship

[@clooaan]

Why is the ship even there? There are no naval vessels from Asia patrolling sea lanes near Canada.

They literally invaded our waters recently with Russia. The world agreed on certain rules, and enforcing those laws is necessary. They violate our sovereignty, while we only enforce the world's right to sail open seas.
