Let me get this straight, and please excuse me for my American bias. The Canadian government, due to a lack of cargo ships, conscripted a US-based freighter company (although it really doesn't matter where the company is from) to transport Canadian military supplies and personnel from Kosovo back to Canada. Now apparently the Canadian government is backing out of, or at least refusing to comply with paying the money, so the freighter is refusing to deliver the goods until they get their payment. Again, how is this illegal confinement? With it being in "international waters" does this mean that it is illegal to hold up their end of the deal and wait for the payment they are due? And why doesn't the Canadian government just pay them? I can understand it must suck for the Canadian personnel on board, so I could understand if they let them go, but as far as the cargo, I don't see what is wrong with them holding it until they get their payment. It makes no difference if it's "government property", they conscripted the freighter to transport it which technically means it is the freighter's property until the contract is fulfilled. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me taking back the shit by force and breaking the contract is a little wrong.
