All have rights to the Arctic.

Those two things are seperate, The first part which is talking about the whole danish thing was just me expressing how pissed off I was about that, then I moved on from that SUBJECT, onto ANOTHER subject. The artic, the whole GB, Canada, and US thing was for who should have claim over the artic. It had nothing to do with the danish thing. Understand now? Thanks for the comments though.

We understood you the first time, only you were incorrect in your assumption of who should have ownership.

Which reminds me...


Britain?! WTF?!

Our CF-18 fighers have already conducted exercised in northern communities. I believe they've been to Churchill and Resolute. Elsewhere on this board I said we need a permanent squad or wing of CF-18s based at Resolute. Do you know how far a CF-18 can fly?

not very far, even with external tanks the range isn't more than 2000 miles. A base in resolute would be perfectly suited for patrolling the arctic. Most the area is covered, and the aircraft can fly to Iqaluit or Alert for fuel if they need to go further.

Some Canadian you are, it's Canada's alone.

I hate to say it, but no, it's not.

There's going to be a Cold War over the Arctic. I will be rooting for Canada all the way, but pretty much any nation that has territory that surpasses the Arctic Circle, has a claim to the Arctic; ESPECIALLY those who have clear water boundaries and the technology to deal with the Arctic Ice.

By that definition, Canada, Denmark, Russia, America, Norway and Iceland would be entitled to the vast resources of the Arctic Ocean.

Rooting ?

Yeah that's what "Canadians" do.

There's a difference between patriotism and thinking your country is always right. One is safe and the other is radical and dangerous.

we are right, get over it.

That is where you are incorrect, most diddn't understand that. I felt the need to enlighten people before they made more comments about that.

Also that is my own personal oppinion, you may find its wrong but whatever. You have your own oppinion, and thats yours.

My friend Arcy is using the wrong approach...

Why do you think Britain should have control over the arctic?



Also, we should have Something up there capable of smashing through the thickest of ice. i really don't give a shit if it is coast guard or navy anymore, get the boats up there! And preferably with guns (arm the coast guard)!

Radical and dangerous are people like you that get walked over in life, I sure as hell don't want your type protecting Canada.

True, but you made the statement that Britain, America and Canada are the closest to the Arctic. I(along with others), proved you wrong on that account.

THAT is why I said that you needed a geography lesson; because there are many other countries that are FAR closer to the Arctic than Britain.

But out of curiosity, why do you believe that Britain should have ownership in the Arctic?

[Bacardi4206]

Britain looked closer to it only the various maps I looked at, In the map above. Everything else looks closer to it. I suppose I never looked at a map that was looking directly down as the article in the middle. I usually only see when it has the countries facing you.

[Arctic_Menace]

No offense dude, but a map is a map. Yes, each have their various distortions and whatnot, but all maps(or at least semi-decent ones) always have the Arctic Circle line, the Equator, the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer, and the Antarctic circle.

Britain has nothing (under the law) to do with Canadian crown, and certainly can't intervene in place of the Canadian government in sovereignty disputes. It was minimalized in 1931 and eliminated in 1982. They are separate now.

Canada needs to build bases, not just one or two, but several bases on our norther shores.

I think we should also populate the region by giving new immigrants the opportunity to populate the region.

Why? So they can be ignored like the Innuit who do populate the region?
