Randy Boswell, Canwest News Services, informs us that Stephen Harper isn't kidding when he says that we are going to assert our sovereignty over the Arctic.
Glad that is settled.
The sitting government's ongoing high profile promotion of the Arctic file seems to indicate that Prime Minister Stephen Harper sees polar politics as a part of a winning strategy in the next election. The new report being reported on by Canwest summarizes concrete action in the four main areas of the government's northern strategy.
The four areas are sovereignty, social and economic development, the environment and governance reform. These are key areas especially with the rapidly retreating sea ice playing a huge factor.
As important as the Canadian electorate is, the real people that Mr. Prime Minister has to get to buy in to our Arctic strategy are the governments of Denmark, Norway, Russia and the States.
