Ummm. No.

There is definitely coast guard coverage on the west coast of the island. There is a coast guard base in Tofino (I’ve used their services before in on July 1 1995 when I nearly sank our commercial fishing boat 10 miles off Leonard Island…).

The Canadian coast guard also has big ships (my childhood besty is Bosun on one).

Canada also got our first helicopter last year so there’s that too…
