It's the government fobbing off their responsibilities by closing Coast Guard stations. The volunteers are trying to fill a gap. If the entire boat was staffed by paraplegics it would be better than nothing.
Our Conservative government is big on lip-service for our military and quasi-military institutions, bangs a big drum over Arctic Sovereignty, then guts the programs.
We have about a dozen useful military ships and a couple of leaky submarines, slightly better than North Korea's rusty and leaky submarines, but that's it.
It looked to me like that cutter was made of wood?
