A screenshot of a Google AI answer to the question "Does the Canadian Navy have minesweepers?" Google AI says: "they use 12 Kingston-class Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs) designed for coastal patrol, minesweeping, and route survey, often deploying modular mechanical and magnetic minesweeping gear"

I seem to recall #ProblematicPOTUS Donald Trump repeatedly insisting that the #USA doesn't need anything that Canada has so, in light of the #StraitOfHormuz shituation he got the world into without consulting allies, I asked Google:

Does the Canadian Navy have minesweepers?

It turns out it has 12.
