the mild-mannered Canadians are girding for conflict
the mild-mannered Canadians are girding for conflict, reports the BBC:
Canada is sending its navy back to the far northern Arctic port of Churchill after a 30-year absence._._._.
The move follows a spat between Canada and Denmark, over an uninhabited rock called Hans Island in the eastern Arctic region.
A visit there by Canada's defence minister last month angered the Danes.
We're totally on the side of Denmark, which is such a loyal U.S. ally that--unlike Canada--it actually celebrates the Fourth of July. The Canadians may be outmatched here anyway; remember that Denmark already has a vast Arctic empire, including the world's biggest island.
