There is a lot more to “peacekeeping” than lightly armed troops in baby-blue berets handing out food to children in dirty, disease ridden corners of the world. Keeping the peace starts with ensuring that global commerce can flow ~ free trade and prosperity do more to prevent wars than all the diplomats and presidents combined ever have. Keeping the sea lines of communication open and safe is a HUGE contribution to maintaining global peace and security. A strong, well equipped Royal Canadian Navy is an indispensable tool for the Government of Canada.
Here, the Danish ship HDMS Peter Willemos and HMCS Winnipeg conduct operations to ensure that we can always cooperate and interoperate with our traditional friends and allies to keep the seas free.
