The Canadians have 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. Remote controlled submarines are new to the world and basically they are submarines which do not need people on board to operate them. This is an excellent idea as oxygen does not need to be provided for anything and the submarine can be controlled at a base where a lot of people can see exactly 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. Ice around the Arctic has slowly been melting away due to the effects of global warming, 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. 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. 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 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
