Canada uses submarines to chart the Arctic
Believe it or not the Canadians have recently acquired a piece of technology which no other country in the world currently has. 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 good idea as oxygen does not need to be provided for anything and also they can be controlled from a base enabling many people to 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 quarrel of course includes Canada as well as USA, Russia, Denmark and Norway. Fundamentally the only subject they seem to be arguing over is oil. Because of global warming, ice around the Arctic has inevitably been slowly melting away, ultimately leaving previous areas where nothing could venture into, more accessible. This of course means that there will more than likely be some untapped natural resources down there that the arguing countries will want to snap 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. Of course oil would provide the USA with more time to look at new ways of making electricity, which of course is why they are so interested in it. More than likely the real reason is that the USA are power hungry and simply want to have 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 cruise and jet off on one of those Canada tours today. There may be more in your holidays to Canada than you might first think
