How does the Canadian territory compare to U.S. territory along the Northwest Passage,

considering the state of the ice?

Let’s see what Secretary Clinton has to say about our two nations’ territories. And now, to Tom Clark!

Are we seeing a new arms race in

the Arctic?

Looks like there might be a dispute between the U.S. and Canada.

No, that's what we're trying to avoid…if we

don't start coordinating, yes,

there is the potential for some challenges…

I think if we get ahead of it and we lay out how we're going to do this…we can be in good shape going forward.

…between Canada and the United States as a way of thinning the border…all that's happened is that the border has gotten thicker and thicker.

This is the longest, most peaceful border in the world. We are each other's biggest trading partner…. But we've worked

through some of the difficult issues

already this past year.

So, I guess that means there is no rush to conclude the boundaries…

…the earth is becoming hotter! Climate change is the principal

driver of almost every development in the Arctic these

days.

Never mind again. Perhaps Michael Byers disagrees with Secretary Clinton.Image retrieved from

There is a lot of attention being paid to the Northwest Passage through

Canada’s Arctic islands. What is the controversy about?

VIEWS ON THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE

It’s an international strait!

It’s a part of the Canadian internal

waters.

…melting of the Arctic sea-ice – changing from an ice-covered ocean to

an increasingly ice-free ocean – is changing things…countries are

immediately affected and potentially have the most to gain.

Hmm, since the climate is changing at this rate, these countries need to take responsibility for their land!
