What this clearly demonstrates is the lack of leadership our country has.
Over the decades successive governments have fallen far short in the
business of protecting Canadian Territory. We knew the ice was in
fact melting, but we did nothing to establish our position on boundaries.
Some of these areas should have become provinces years ago and
that would have established boarders. Our govenment decided to keep
the territorial system to save a few bucks and as a result we could lose
trillions in future resource revenues.
Looking tough and talking tough won't protect our boarders, action will
and we had better establish our right of ownership immediately before
the Americans, the Russians and God knows who else start putting their
flags on Canadian soil.
