Canada announced plans Monday to increase its Arctic military presence in an effort to assert sovereignty over the Northwest Passage - a potentially oil-rich region the United States claims is international territory.
In the end, somehow, the Conservative government is going to bungle this up and the Northwest Passage will be made international waters and everyone will end up drilling there (Americans, Chinese, Russians, British, Norwegians, Danish, French, Japanese, etc...).
Scientists say Russia could lay claim to millions of square kilometers of territory under the Arctic Ocean, following their discovery of a link between a major underwater ridge and Russia's coastal shelf, Russian media reports.
