Prime Minister Harper: "Canada's position is that we intend to strengthen our sovereignty in the Arctic area ... Canada and the U.S. do have differences on certain aspects of the Northwest Passage."

Canada, the US, and Russia are all staking claims to presently ice-covered areas of the soon-to-be-unfrozen North.

Canada and Russia should thank Bush and Cheney for providing them a warmer climate. Siberia may actually turn into a place that Russians might want to visit.

Not to mention all the folks that might move above the border to get away from the heat and the b.s. of our local and national governments. Oui?
