A couple of years ago China announced its intention to maintain a large, powerful (heavily armed) and permanent presence in the Arctic even though China has no Arctic coast. Beijing also disputes that the ordinary Law of the Sea conventions govern Arctic seabed resources.<br /><br />If China does get ambitious in the Arctic other nations will follow.<br /><br />Canada also has historic naval obligations through NATO. Beyond that, I don't know.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-74195911055038373252015-10-20T12:57:17.408-07:002015-10-20T12:57:17.408-07:00@ Sal - there is so much to be cleaned up, rehabil...@ Sal - there is so much to be cleaned up, rehabilitated, put back into service. I'd like to focus on getting today's Canada ready for the demands our next generation will face.<br /><br />Too many Canadians shrug it off as 'why should I sacrifice today so that future generations can have it easier?' Some will say it openly, many more won't but the outcome is always the same.<br /><br />We need to understand that, while the next few generations are going to have a rough ride no matter what we do, our indifference and selfishness ensures their lot will be far worse than it need be.<br /><br />There's a lot to do and a limited amount of time to get it done, none we can afford to waste.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-50180399546197276062015-10-20T12:47:57.215-07:002015-10-20T12:47:57.215-07:00MOS:

We do not need to nor will any number of boats defend our shores. A strong Coast Guard and efficient Search and Rescue will do more to benefit Canadians than a bunch of rear end admirals with boats they treat as bathtub toys.rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-4807503042399199092015-10-20T12:15:47.239-07:002015-10-20T12:15:47.239-07:00.. a tough row to hoe for 'young' & &#..... a tough row to hoe for 'young' & 'not ready' Justin ....<br />He needs a hazmat suit just to venture into the wreckage Harper, PMO, Party & complicits left behind<br /><br />But you're hitting the right notes Mound .. I doubt any real Canadian would question full funding or restoration of Coast Guard on BC or any 'tidewater' coast.. or returning full funding re the 'Small Lakes Experimental Station'.. or critical examination of disaster politics re wild vs farmed salmon with Gail Shea & Keith Ashfield dumped.<br /><br />Just looking west.. I would wonder if folks like you n Alexandra Morton.. and many marine biologists should not be embraced and pressed into service.. Canada is in remedial mode right now. We need librarians, contrarians, insight, critique.. opinion and unmuzzled zeal right now.. we need outcry to point at the failures of Harper that need .. no, demand redress !<br /><br />Maybe get on the big BMW .. dude.. or get on the Google... and say 'hey' !!!<br />We gots fences to mend, forest to grow, fish needing habitat, coastlines undefended but under assault.. Like all Canadians, we need to look after our own backyards.. unfortunately, my backyard is where our previous PM hatched from .... even while he pretends to be a 'westerner'.. an all hat - no cattle cowpokerthe salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.com
