Actually this is very relevant news, when it comes to shipping . Tracking these vessels does a number of things to assert our authority. First, if I know where you are at all times, I can save you or arrest you .
Secondly, if shps register on their way , through our waters; over time it will provide a data base, thus requiring a division or unit incorporated to assimilate that data and provide vital stats to our law makers.

No, the continental shelf will not overlap… it eventually drops off into the ocean floor, and becomes international warter.

Could we not make Guy Lauzon the Minister of the North Pole, and station him there?

Hmmm, the continental shelf is sure to overlap, what then?

This is all quite irrelevant. The same sort of “symbolic gesture” the Russians made. All the countries involved-Canada, Russia, the US, and Norway are all currently mapping out (hurriedly, I might add) the ocean floor, trying to decipher where the continental shelf starts and ends. Until this mapping is complete, all claims are moot.

Good one, Reg. How about Helena Guergis to keep him company and kick the snow and throw things?

That would be a very good thing especially if they dress him in a fuchsia parka…..

So is Mr. Harper going to send John Baird to the arctic to stand on the shore and bark at the foreign ships as they pass by?
