Ice isn't armed either - and ours have ice cube makers. No need for artillery to blast the ice that cools your gin

Harper in camo? .... You need glasses boy...you mean... Stephen Harper's yearly Northern trips have just been staged... just for show? What about his boots on the ground... err, ice? Note the Arctic camo! :mrgreen:
I should have known... Britain's 'icebreaker' is a pretend vessel, keeping in step with the pretend navy that you boast of.
Well, I suppose that if there is a game of pretend navy battle going on, Britain will really do well
No one listens to the UN, MF.... Been this way for a number of years now
oh really! Is that why all countries presuming to make Arctic claims are presenting submissions to the UN? See UN Convention on the Law of the Sea
Are you under the impression that NATO and the UN are the same?
PS - I can't recall the last time that NATO really was at the forefront or really influenced the member nation's policies
To me it has nothing to do with who has the bigger navy. If Canada had the most powerful navy in the world and Denmark the weekest, but Denmark could prove that it was the legal owner, I would still support that Canada acknowledge that.
Sadly enough, I'm not convinced that would happen. It seems militarism and nationalism has replaced justice in this country.
Captain, the British navy is far more powerful than ours.
If international law should conclusively prove it's ours, we should be prepared to do so on principle. Unfortunately, we are probably prepared to fight to take it away from its rightful owner. I think Canada has lost its sense of fair play.
And more to do with international law than diplomacy.
