Bonjour!
Hijacking the top comment to let people know this isn’t in response to any American threats, this is Naval Group, a French naval defense company, showing off their submarine because Canada is looking to spend 60 billion on twelve submarines. The plans for this purchase were publicly announced on July 10, 2024.
Here’s a French news article about the submarine, seeing as I couldn’t seem to find any sources in English.
I’ll take both reasons as canon, thank you very much

FTFY
without cannons, how will they fight?!?
Naval Group, a French naval defense company
Ah shit, that’s the same company Australia had a deal with to buy diesel subs, before our fuckwit former PM reneged on the deal to create AUKUS and buy American nuclear subs.
I had real good tingle feels imagining France showing up on our coast during this part of history.
A real “we got you bro” moment in my imagination.Le sad.
France manages to get a sub to us before the UK even deigns to comment. That says it all. Merci beacoup!
Look here sonny Jim, Daddy’s always watching, Mummy might show up first for a bit of comfort and that, but Daddy’ll be here when you need him.
JT was just in France as one of his last acts as PM. Mere days later this bad boy shows up in a Halifax harbour. 🤔🤔🤔 Merci a la belle France 🇫🇷🤝🇨🇦
Vive la France!
Never have I been more pleased to see a foreign navies nuclear attack sub in my nations waters.
(odd times)
Let’s go! France is here to protect Canada!
US citizen here. I have become such a huge fan of France.
Same. Also once you know and understand France’s history and military…. You just don’t fuck with them.

perchance, banana for scale?
It’s a football field, Micheal. How big could it be, a banana?
It’s there, but hard to see.
Canadian football fields are 100m, so just the right size for us!
CFL fields are 110 yards, which is about 100m. Close enough I guess :)
“Bring it” - France probably

Don’t tease me!
NOBODY backs an American Revolution like the French!
🇫🇷🦅🎆
Fake
Despite the clear evidence pointing to the image being old, the photograph is still circulating on social media platforms and has been featured in Google searches related to the supposed annexation threat. This highlights how misinformation can easily spread online, especially when fueled by sensational claims and misleading images.

An article using random reddit comments as a source should be outright ignored, IMO.
Especially when said reddit comment has since been edited and no longer reflects what’s written in the article. If you bother to follow the reddit link in the article, you’ll find someone has replied with an actual source (from France) that shows that the photos are legit, however the title of this post (and the original posts on reddit) are misleading.
This isn’t in reaction to American threats, it’s a French naval defense company showing off their submarine in the hopes of obtaining a 60 billion dollar contract for twelve submarines that the Canadian government announced last summer.
Exactly. OP is super fake.
Source?
Here’s a French article about it. It’s not a show of force, it’s a naval defense company showing off their submarine in the hopes of being granted a 60 billion dollar contract for 12 submarines that the Canadian government announced last summer.
France
I mean if Canada/France/the World want to get rid of him, I’m not gonna bat an eye? Just saying.
During a period with seemingly very little good news in the world, I really needed this. Assuming it was done for the optics it conveys, it’s some much needed reassurance that our allies actually have our back. Granted, we’re still absolutely fucked in the short term if the worst happens, it’s still nice to see.
