Canadian and American Artic Waters Discusion

Well Almost,

They Do not Acknowldge That The Waters around to the North belong to Canada, DISPITE the fact that it does belong to Canada.

Things are Getting REALLY heated. I would not Be surprised if the United State's Greed does start a war.

HELL! they want to Drain OUR drinking water for there use, And they say that if we don't GIVE them OUR Water, we are stopping there growth and devlopment, and is a direct threat to there people.

There's no reason to create a problem that doesn't exist," Wilkins said as he took part in a forum at the University of Western Ontario in London.

"We don't recognize Canada's claims to those waters... Most other countries do not recognize their claim."

WE recognize OUR claim to OUR Land / Water, but the States think it's not ours.

If it is 200 miles off of every canadian coast it is not your Water at all. It is open water. Stop claiming things that don't belong to you. That's like me claiming denmark is ours cause it somehow is near to us.

I agree with Bardock42. Isn't that consider International waters or something?

Not If it is Within our Boarders.

look Closely, That si Way mroe then 200 miles, but It still is OURS.

The U.S. does not Acknowlegdge that, Dispite that it is OUR CLAIMED LAND.

Don't see why that should be yours at all. Just cause you claim that those are your boundaries. I can claim International Water too. Won't make it mine though.

For some reason Bush seems to think Canada is the 51st State.

LOL that is so far international waters that Canada needs to pull their head outta their ass's.......................International laws say something like 3 miles off the coast and USA is 10-12 where in the world can someone claim 200 MILES and expect it to "hold water."

You people do nto seem to "GET IT"

Most fo the time, thoes waters are ICE.

That water is as good as land.

Its ours, get it!?
We Claimed it, We pay for it, It's ours, and the U.S. wants it for themselves.

You claiming it doesn't change shit. If it is water and outside of your boundary, 12 Miles at most with water it's not yours. It is international water.

It Falls Within our borders, Which Some dead white guy claimed as Canada's 200 years ago.

It was Agreed That That part of the world is ours. Now, The U.S. wants the Fuels and therefore Claims it as Everybody's

Why are you surprised?? The Bush Administration has done way worse than that.

Wow, what an ignorant, inflamatory and totally uniformed post!

Koala, there are many U.S. ? Canadian issues to discuss that actually not only contentious but actually not fabricated (i.e. the soft lumber dispute).

I have no problem with any of our allies using our waters so long as it not for military, commercial or political purposes that are not contradictory to Canada or Canadian policies or interests.

Stop overreacting to political posturing and educate yourself before you make comments that reflect badly on not only you, but on the country that you claim to love.
