Last I heard, they couldn't actually do anything other than look badass when they surface. Tangling the fishing lines could actually mess up the subs, so they don't want to get too close. Whaling ships might even be able to snag and hoist a sub aboard by its tail. But their navy is trying to jury-rig a torpedo system so they can actually kill people who catch fish too close to their border.

Interesting ...
I hope Canada's campaing against rogue fishermen goes well.
