The Canadians use submarines to chart the Arctic
Sunday, October 11th, 2009    Subscribe To Our FeedBelieve 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 something new to the world and they basically are submarines that 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 current argument includes Russia, Norway, Denmark, Canada and of course USA. Basicially they only thing they seem to be 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. Ultimately oil would provide the USA with more time to develop newer means 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 for instance; 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
