After months of secretive planning, and preparing the crew to defend their ship if necessary, the Royal Canadian Navy has transited the Taiwan Strait.
As HMCS Ottawa entered the busy and strategically critical body of water at sunrise, it was flanked by three Chinese warships armed with missiles and torpedoes. They mirrored Ottawa’s moves for the entire 17-hour crossing.
Canada made the journey along with the USS Ralph Johnson, a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, in what both countries describe as a freedom of navigation exercise.
“🇨🇦🖕🇺🇸” 😂
Edit: An entire thread forcing me to explain the joke to death while painting me as the idiot is infinitely funnier than the joke itself could ever hope to be. Especially when it’s all started by someone who calls Canada “canadia”. I thank you for your service. 😏
The people there are Canadians. It should either be called Canadia or they should be called Canadans. They want it both ways. I don’t accept that. Hail Canadia!
😂 You make an excellent point.
As a proud Canegian, I protest
Oh Bananada!
canadia sailed a warship through the taiwan straight, and that’s a fuck you to the united states, how?
Err, no. Canada and US sailed through together, giving the fuck-you finger to China.
Also they literally went together lol
EDIT: Top comment was not actually confused, but is really being dragged through the mud for a slightly ambiguous three emoji combo haha, sorry top comment.
Meh. They were soundly ratioed for their troubles. 😂
Maybe he only speaks “High School Emoji” and isn’t that fluent yet. Misunderstandings can happen like that.
Or - and hear me out here - I’m in my 40s and assumed that those who read my comment had read the full article like I did and understood it was a joint mission between Canada and the US and the meaning would be obvious.
I apologize my use of emoji wasn’t to your exacting standards but I find comedy that’s forced to lead the reader by the nose isn’t quite as funny. I hope some day you’ll find peace and healing for the harm I’ve caused you.
There’s your error. I hope you learned your lesson.
Yep. I’m a stupid for sure. 😭
I make the same mistake, thinking someone will read when all they wantto do is comment first. :/

Nah couldn’t be that
Is it necessary to be so hostile?
I wouldn’t worry too much about a reply-guy who rushes to the defense of another who calls Canada “canadia” to show solidarity in their judgment of “a stupid”. It’s actually funnier than my abhorrent emoji game. 😏
😜😭💥💥💦👉👈
Reply guy? Do you have any clue what that even means? Put the Internet away before you hurt yourself, kid.
You’re bent out of shape because no one understood your dumb comment. It’s kind of sad that you’re so easily hurt.
Take a breath reply guy, I think he’s just fucking around

I didn’t even think I was being hostile? Does no one really remember thinking “embarasada” meant embarrassed in Spanish class?
But now that I’ve checked back in with this thread and gotten a honestly pretty unexpected hostile reaction, yeah, let’s go with that then.
