    Why is there a picture of a German flag flying on the original link from the main site? Are the Soviets and the German Reich at it again? ;-)

    Seriously though, this is not good news for other Arctic nations... time to get the ball rolling on real solutions to the issue

    Until Canada is ready to get over it's aversion to nuclear weapons we will never be taken seriously. Countries that have don't have to put up with this crap. They are negotiated with rather than dismissed out of hand. Canada is too large to be defended by conventional means imo and there has yet to be a nation in possession of a nuclear arsenal, no matter how modest, that has been invaded. Nuclear weapons are 100% defensive deterrent in nature. Plus it's actually a fair bit cheaper than the kind of (conventional) military we would actually need to competently defend and deter notions of attack.

    I can understand Canada’s position in the '50 and '60's about nuclear weapons and it was a noble pursuit at the time but we don't live in those times now and in a post cold war world where the nature of combat and conflict has completely changed it's time to reconsider our anti-nuclear stance.

    I would propose 25-50 medium yield warheads shell-gamed (a la 1960's) between 300 missiles. Naturally I would've proposed that 10-15 years ago though.

    And ten feet of ice!
    This is how you get your drinking water in the arctic.
    The tool used to chip that hole has a blade about 3 inches wide,the water was silted from glacial runoff and undrinkable. :(

    Do you watch South Park? Do you know what a S'Nuke is?

    Canada of course has the top secret Elizabeth May S'Nuke. We're anxious to use it.

    South Park is a TV show. Don't recall S'Nukes from it though.

    100% agree wiht you. Really, it's like shwoing up to a war armed with spears because you have some moral problem with guns. Nucelar technology is sixty or seventy years old now. Pretty soon, everyone is going to have nuclear weapons. Frickin' Pakistan has them. It's embarrassing.

    I'm not to sure arming every country in the world with nukes is particularily smart. The risk of them being used would just rise dramatically.
