Norway will be damned if it lets some post-imperialist colonial whelp
dictate what goes on in the Arctic, when we have arguably more rights to
the Arctic than any other single nation on Earth. Still, we believe the
Arctic belongs to no single nation but to several.
Absolutely, there will come a point where natural resources are so scarce
the treaty to prohibit ownership or excavation of oil in The north pole
(which contains 25% of the worlds oil) will become a battleground. Best
start training for arctic warfare America…
So if the northwest passage is normally considered sovereign to Canada why
is the United states and other countries claiming it’s international?

I’m not a Canadian. Lol, you think it’s only Canadians who feel that this
is wrong? XD
Dude, the whole world feels threatened by America. The countries of the
world only respect you because they’re afraid of you. Trust me, I’ve been
to many countries and all the people feel the same way about America.
Humans, the devils biggest triumph.
Why fight over this land? You know what would end 90% of the wars not only
happening now but in the future? A renewable fuel source. Why not try to
create a new renewable energy that can be grown and manufactured anywhere.
We could make a new fuel that could go directly into existing vehicles with
no modification. Energy independence for all would decrease negative
interaction and very real disputes in turn ending the perpetual war status
of earth.
if we want it we will take it, what you going to do but protest.
We treat you like you treat your natives. we sent the Mexicans as scouts
Great show.
THE HUMAN RACE …TOP GOVERMENTS ….ARE THE CANCER AND BIGGEST CRIMINALS
.DROP THE BOMBS AND KILL THEM ALL .
Greedy Americans, they never learn. Their thirst for resources will
ultimately lead to their doom. Mark my words, those days arnt very far.
The reporter looks nicer than the report.
@michael carney If things where to escalate to the brink of war, Canada
would be better of telling the US to go to hell and align with China. The
US is done. It has been eaten from the inside out by the Bankers and their
corrupt puppet government. The US is in a controlled downward spiral of
which it will never recover. The US dollar is on its last leg. China will
most likely hold the new world currency standard. As for the US military
might, it is done. We have been at war for over ten years straight. Most of
the gear is either worn out or obsolete. The country doesn’t have the funds
to replace all of this. Plus the soldiers are realizing what it really
means to be a soldier for the US. They fight in wars that benefit only the
Banking elite only to come home and be labeled as potential terrorist by
their own government. The same government that is giving bonuses to doctors
that label veterans with some sort of metal disorder so that they will not
be able to obtain or own any firearms. Just look at the way the US
government targeted and attacked the veterans during the shutdown last
year. I agree that Canada most likely would not be able to stand on their
own or against the US in a fight. But the days of America running shit are
coming to an abrubt end. If you do your research you will find that America
has been a corporation and not a Republic for several decades. Who do you
think owns most of the shares now? China, Russia, and many other countries.
Just look into how the US has given China US land rights because of the
debt we own them. This has all been by design. This is why you are seeing
many Americans waking up and trying to push against the current government
in an effort to restore the Republic and it’s people. To retake from the
Bankers what is theirs by natural birth. But the USA that you are speaking
of is done. And any interest that the US may have in the artic is NOT for
the greater good of the world as you may think. It is solely for greed.
Wake up. In case you are curious, I am an American.
Military quasi welfare system.
Thats what wars always were about. Ressources. Always ressources. You must
be very naive to believe that they are fought for humanity or to bring
peace or democracy or even for revenge.
What if the US sails a aircraft carrier right through it. Is Canada going
to sink it? LOL Bushs face at 15:13 about sums that up…
The Northwest Passage – while some still disbelieve the humankind’s impact
on global climate, others are already trying to take advantage of it…
“The Northwest Passage is not an issue between the U.S. and Canada, it’s
between Canada and the world” says the american ambassador.
Sure… also, the Amazon Rainforest is not brazilian, Patagonia is not
argentinian, the Urals are not russian, and the Great Wall is not chinese.
Maybe we should discuss with americans the sovereignity over the Grand
Canyon, Disneyworld and Time Square, what about that?
CANADA SUCKS
Funny how Journeyman has never done any negative doc. on Australia; but
won’t stop trying to portray the states in bad light. Well it’s like the
geeky kid always hating on the jock who gets all the chicks in high sch.
Guess who’s the geek. HAHAHAHA!
FUCK harper. The only time he cares about Inuit people is when he can use
them to “claim” sovereignty for his own political gain. Didn’t see him
caring when he scrapped archaeological research into Norse trade with the
Inuit’s ancestors, the Thule. He embraces Inuit history which supports his
vision of British Canada and ignores that which indicates an earlier
Scandinavian presence. Disgusts me along with his politicization and
restriction of government scientists to only publish findings which support
his agenda.
FUCK THIS MONEY MONEY MONEY ECONIMICAL GAIN OF A THING, ITS RUINING MOTHER
EARTH
I can’t believe that Bush was our President. What a goof ball.
what kind of crab or fisheries are in those waters? who cares bout oil or
fuel! Use it for substainable fishing.!!!
The ice will settle this.
Could Arctic Resources Ignite a War? The Arctic Cold War (2007): The
Arctic’s melting ice has opened up the area’s vast natural resources to the
Arctic powers, which could result in tensions leading to war
According to a new report, global warming is likely to trigger a dangerous
contest between Russia and the West for the Arctic’s vast mineral resources.
As the Arctic warms up; “major corporations are waking up to the fact there
is going to be tremendous economic opportunity”, explains Prof Huebert.
Canada, Russia, Denmark and Norway all have claims to the Arctic seabed,
where vast mineral reserves are thought to lie. There’s concern that this
scramble for resources could spiral out of control. “The worst case
scenario is one of a regional area where hostilities are the norm and
co-operation the exception”, warns Huebert.

our enviromentalists love to exagerate and prevent us from seeing scources
that can pay off a huge amount of debt and thegovernment lisences to them
and doesnt look at what we need to pay off. Instead the government cuts the
military budget so much we might as well be invaded by fucking nigeria.
13:10 when have any country government done anything genuine?
Easements are always a problem better to work out disputes before people
start using the passage then it is too late.
The US Canadian border has generally been quiet. I’m sure US will screw
that up too. I’m proud to be American, not proud of our gov.
Most Canadians are from eastern Europe and India anyway.
22nd Century OIL WARS … here we come.
Canada is such a useless nation
Aussies are inbred rednecks anyway HAHAHAHA!
The whole Earth is going to die. Why blame only America when it is
everyone’s fault?
haha Canadian military is gonna stand up to the American military?
Russia is already so big, yet they need to still be bigger.
Arctic seabed is an extension of my cock so is the other side of the
moon.(just in case) and I claim whatever is there.
Fuck you all!! fucking politicians and “law makers”
This is stupid…….
typical fucking Americans(USA) wanting everything for themselves, both
resources and power
