Canada uses military might in Arctic scramble

[Psycho4Bud]

Didnt some country already send a sub to plant their flag?

That's how the shit started.......Russia did the sub thing. Like to see them drill for oil from a damn sub. LOL

IMO canada should be focusing on securing the North West passage. Leave the rest for the others with populations larger than 30 mil to fight over. We have enough empty space as it is.

And empire building has been going strong since confederation, a branch economy empire lol.

Empire building........doesn't sound like the Canada that's talked of in here.

Somehow I think laying claim to (nearly) uninhabited and disputed arctic land, that is arguably part of Canadian territory, isn't the same "empire building" as invading a foreign nation with an established government on another continent. :wtf:

LOL, hmmmm....Who did that? Oh yeah, wasnt it like...that other country; ummm...Russia?

Canada has military might ?

Canada has military might ?

Maybe it's supposed to read "Canada might use military in Arctic scramble"

So what? All Russia did was lay claim to it, the dispute has been going on for years now, Russia finally just stuck in a flag and declared it theirs. This is a land in dispute, not a long-established country full of peoples and governments, cities and laws. If Canada actually grabs long-held undisputed Russian territory, we'd have a different story.

I thought the Artic belonged to everyone....and for science.

what about the elves? there must be millions of them up there by now. just think of all them poor displaced little buggers with no toys to build and no workshop to build them in. i suppose canada will probably claim they are invading to liberate them from santa's sweatshops, but it's just another lame excuse.
