[Paddlewise] Commercial Traffic in Toronto Harbour

I've noticed that there has been a lot of freighter traffic in the Toronto harbour lately.  There are usually 3 boats within visible range most of the time.  Its unusual to see this much activity during the summer months, but perhaps there is more traffic now that ice has recently melted.

These craft are doing tight turns in limited space (relatively speaking).  I would expect them to be discussing their intentions on VHF, but I'm not picking up anything on my marine handheld.  Why not?
