Canada has submarines to chart the Arctic
Amazingly the Canadians have recently secured a piece of technology which no other country in the world currently owns. Submarines operated by remote control are something new to the world and essentially they are submarines which do not need to be manned to operate. This is a great thing because oxygen is not required for anything and the submarine can be controlled at a base where lots of people can see what is going on.
This has come into the equation because many countries are in argument over who has access to the Arctic. This current argument includes Russia, Norway, Denmark, Canada and of course USA. Primarily the only thing they are arguing over is oil. Because of the effects of global warming, the ice around the Arctic has slowly been melting away leaving previous areas where nothing could venture into, more accessible. This in turn means that more than likely there is going to be untapped natural resources discovered and the arguing countries will of course want to snap them up for themselves.
The oil giant USA is obviously going to be involved in this as their oils supplies are running extremely low and need to find other means to supply the country with electricity before time runs out. Subsequently oil would provide the USA with additional time to develop different ways of making electricity which is why they are so keen on it. Probably the real reason is more likely to be that USA are absolutely power hungry and simply want more money. Take the Iraq war as an example, was it not just a failed attempt to get at Iraq’s oil supplies?
Of course Canada itself is a marvellous place to visit so why not take an Alaskan cruises and jet off on one of those Canada tours today. There may be more in your holidays to Canada than you might first think
