Some are drowning, some are acting like submarines carrying a deadly load of nuclear explosives .
Whenever she is not too busy with chasing and slaughtering Alaskan wolves from Helicopters...
Or may be when she kills all the wolves she will rent out the hellicopters to watch the Russians.. or may be even she can also exterminate the remaining polar bears, since she kills the wolves anyways, so will make it easy..
what does Sarah Palin have to do with Canada and it's arctic continental border dispute with Russia?

Well Sara Palin , at least, can see Russia from her window, but the question is, what do the rest of Americans have to do with that? And how is that any of the American's business?
If Canada is more preoccupied to control the population of seals in the Arctics then figuring their territories, why should the US take care of their problems? We have wolves to hunt.
We do not want your help but you think Russia building two military bases with a full time force deployed just near Canadian airspace which happens to be NORAD controlled airspace.
you know the massive joint operations we both set up to stop the Soviet Union from flying into North American airspace during the cold war. It is something that should get a little attention from both of us.
They've been talking about a cold war between Canada and Russia for at least 5 years and will probably be talking about it for another 75-100 years from now. Tensions will rise as more ice melts. If that doesn't happen then nothing will occur and the first scenario will not happen overnight. It will take decades if it does occur.
I just heard of that growing conflict on the radio. As the ice is melting, more and more ships are coming to the Arctic areas of Canada.
Maybe it would be a good idea for Canada and the US to merge, instead of arguing with each other over some territory while the Russians are about to send 15 new nuclear submarines and a giant nuclear-powered icebreaker to the Arctic. I don't think Canada alone is capable of protecting its vast and growing territory. It is also in the interest of the US that its northern neighbor is a safe buffer.
Just days after Gen. Walt Natynczyk, Canada’s chief of defence staff, left Moscow after meeting his counterpart last weekend, a Russian official announced that the country would be increasing its Arctic military presence, a move that could increase tensions in the resource-rich area.
Anton Vasilev, a special ambassador for Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was quoted this week by the Interfax news agency as saying his country would be beefing up its presence in the Arctic, and that NATO was not welcome there.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was in Iceland this week meeting with the country's leaders, with the Arctic being at the top of the agenda, local media reported. Putin, according to the Moscow Times, then announced that Russia would be ordering three nuclear and six diesel icebreakers to be delivered by 2020, with the goal of expanding transportation in the Arctic.
In July, Russia said it would create two specialist brigades to be based in the Arctic. It’s not known if the latest announcement is tied to that declaration or if additional forces will be moved to the region. Russians move to bolster Arctic forces - *News - MSN CA
I mean I think Canada should buy or place a order for some US built Icebreakers and buy a few US destroyers and frigates and increase our F-35 order ASAP.
I mean Russia just made a threat to NORAD time for Canada to upgrade it's airforce and navy to 21st century standards then U.S. and Canadian forces both can go meet Russia and secure the arctic.
With regard to Артика big part of that is the water of which belong to Russia and the interference of other countries, this is a violation of the sovereignty of Russia. There is also the right and Canada had .ей, too, belong of course its territory. Артика belongs to Russia, Canada, Greenland, and Norway. NATO and the us has no right to this territory, any interference of this intervention in the internal Affairs of these countries.
I also heard they wanna enroll the remaining polar bears into their military and train them to deliver long distance nuclear bombs with the accuracy of 0.003 miles.
We gotta do smthg about that folks, don't you think?

Funny how the lies live on. Palin Never shot wolves from Helicopters....
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, March 12, 2008 (ENS) - The Alaska Board of Fish and Game has decided that about two dozen wolves from several packs on the southern Alaska Peninsula will be exterminated using aerial gunning to boost the caribou population.
The Russians send submarines deep below the North Pole. The Americans dispatch surveillance planes to monitor new threats in the North. And Canada scrambles to defend territories it has ignored for too long.
In 2007, the stakes were raised considerably when Russia launched a naval manoeuvre designed to plant an actual Russian flag, in a titanium capsule, at the base of the North Pole, 4,200 metres below sea level.
Russia's game plan was to extend its territory almost up to the Pole itself, to claim the vast mineral and energy resources many feel lie underneath the Arctic ice.
The North Pole is considered an international site and is administered by the International Seabed Authority. But if a country can prove its underwater shelf is an extension of its continental border, then it can claim an economic zone based on that.
And that's what Russia is doing by systematically charting the reach of its Lomonosov underwater shelf. As a spokesman for its Arctic and Antarctic Institute said, "It's like putting a flag on the moon."
For Canadians, of course, this is more like waving a red flag in front of a bull.
Under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which Canada ratified in 2003, coastal countries have the right to control access to the belt of shoreline along their coasts. Barring some exceptions, that belt is 12 nautical miles (22.2 kilometres) wide. But the waterways dividing some of the islands in Canada's north are often nearly 100 kilometres wide. That would seem to leave plenty of room down the middle for foreign ships.
Every country now controls the resources under its coastal waters up to 200 nautical miles from its shore. Under the treaty, a country's territory can be expanded much further if you can prove the ridges and rock formations underneath the water are connected to your continental shelf.
But it's a race against time. Countries have 10 years from when they sign the treaty to submit their scientific data to a UN commission. Canada has just four years left — until 2013.
The North pole has never been an international!!! It is adjacent to the territory of the Russian Federation, Canada and other countries that have water AB Artik belonging to those countries. Submarines always been under Artik, and the Way was opened by the Russians, as this is the water of the greater part of Russian. To any part of the land belongs sea space, if she has a Maritime border, to be aware of this, and of course the distance from mainland Russia to the North pole covers the territory of Russia on the international laws. so that you do not need to do and share something that already belongs to another country.
