Canada uses 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 good thing as oxygen does not need to be provided for anything and they can be controlled at a base where many 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. The argument of course includes Canada as well as USA, Russia, Norway and Denmark. 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. Oil would ultimately provide the USA with additional time to develop newer ways of making electricity which is why they are so very 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 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
