Talking about blowing something simple out of proportion!
Russian planes buzz a ship at sea? No big deal! Nothing earth shattering. A tempest in a teapot if I ever heard one. Lets look at it this way. If Russian ships were just off the coast of the US doing exercises with the Cuban Navy, I'd expect F-18's to be doing close fly bys. I'm sure Canadian would want the same thing.
Personally I'm beginning to tire of Defense Ministers overstating things. Its almost as if they want to push a diplomatic incident instead of avoiding one.

Russian military aircraft are buzzing the Canadian frigate HMCS Toronto which is on a U.S.-Ukraine training exercise in the Black Sea – low-level flyovers that signal Russia is watching them as tensions remain high between Moscow and Kiev.Wow.
“While the Russian military aircraft that circled the HMCS Toronto did not in any way pose a threat to the Canadian ship, their actions were unnecessarily provocative and risk escalating tensions even further,” Defence Minister Rob Nicholson said.
