Turbot War
The Turbot War (known in Spain as "Guerra del Fletán") was an international fishing dispute between Canada (supported by the United Kingdom and Ireland) and Spain (supported by the European Union and Iceland) in which Canada stopped a Galician (Spanish) fishing trawler in international waters and arrested its crew. Canada claimed that European Union factory ships were illegally overfishing Greenland halibut, also known as Greenland turbot, on the Grand Banks, just outside Canada's declared 200 nautical mile (370 km) Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Prelude
Territorial seas have changed over time, having begun with a 3 nautical mile (6 km) "cannon shot" territorial sea, followed by the long-standing extension to a 12 nautical mile (22 km) standard. The economic control of the waters surrounding nations to a two hundred nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) became recognised internationally on November 14, 1994, after having been agreed at the conference on the Third United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982. As a self-governing colony and dominion, Newfoundland's foreign policy, just as Canada's, was established by the British government until the Statute of Westminster 1931. However, in 1934, Newfoundland's government voted to be put under the administration of a commission appointed by London; this situation remained until 1949 when the dominion entered Canadian Confederation.

U turn
by: Dropout YearLet's break some hearts tonight.
Turn off the lights, get undressed and act reckless.
I said, you know we'll regret this, we're so damn pathetic, lonely, and rejected.
Please don't take advantage, with our hearts wrapped in a bandage.

I'm not the only one in that bed.
You turned off the lights and said let's not waste tonight, we won't waste tonight!
You're not so innocent, we're not so innocent.
And we're not so innocent, we're not so innocent.
Is this the way you want to be treated?
All stripped down and used for pieces.

Just take this to heart when things start to fall apart.
