The Canadians use submarines to chart the Arctic

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Unbelievably Canada has just received a piece of technology that no other country has currently in the world. 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 fantastic idea because oxygen does not need to be provided for anything and they 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 quarrel of course includes Canada as well as USA, Russia, Denmark and Norway. The argument basically seems to be over oil. Because of global warming the ice around the Arctic has slowly been melting away leaving previous areas where nothing could venture into, 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. 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. Probably the real reason is more likely to be that USA are absolutely power hungry and simply want more money. If you look at the Iraq war as an example; was it not just a failed ploy to get at Iraq’s oil supply?

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
