I would love to see them try that with "non third world" nations. I think they would find the fight would be more they can handle.
IE
UK or any other western European nation,
Canada, Australia etc etc
It just so happens the the US are allies with the majority of the above but please do not be so aragant as the think the US has that much influence, they might want to beleive they do but I highly doubt it if push comes to shove.
man I totally agree, I have been on the phone for 30 minutes once being a total jerk, let them spill everything they can about whatever. Then hum and haw, then put them on hold for 15 minutes. Ask them to repeat the sales pitch, then finally just plain say nope and hang up.
My wife once spoke in Spanish to them the entire time, in the end the telemarketer just hung up.
I never understand why every thread turns into US posters bashing anything that isn't US.
There is more to the planet than the US and in the next decade you will finally realize this.
As a Canadian I am insulted with the term "america lite" WTF is that? Typical yankee ignorance, and if we had a choice we would love to NOT share the continent with you idiots, do you know how much apologizing Canadians do on behalf of your ignorance?
It is this elitist attitude that got you attacked in the first place, have you not learned anything?
system admin for 3 years making around 60K in smaller city alberta....I just got 8% so now I am paid what I think I should be paid for someone in my field with my experience.
I wouldn't laugh, the way the your yankee green back is heading south in value i think asking if its US or CDN funds is appropriote. After all, in another year 1CDN buck will be 1.2 US bankrupt bucks:)
I bet you wish your country was only half as great as Canada, what was that...yet another poll ranking Canada as the 2nd best country in the world to live in. Hum, I think the US made the top 15, yeah, its better than Africa!!
That is partially true however, you can BAN and or seize vessels within this 200 NM limit of the controlling countries boundaries. In fact, Canada has done it for decades, we have seized numerous vessels that were illegally fishing in Canadian territorial waters (200nm limit). It has gone all the way to international courts and each and every time; Canada has been backed by the courts yielding the seizers as totally legal. There are numerous Spanish and Portuguese vessels that are banned from Canada's 200nm limit.
When is the last time the US gov gave a dam about any treaties it had signed?
The US shows time and time again how much it doesn't care about the rest of the world despite its claims to the contrary
don't bother, Yanks have their ears plugged and their eyes covered if it isn't "made in the USA". And as you so well pointed out, if it isn't made in the USA they simply ignore it or trivialize the role it plays...PS don't get me started about how it was Canadians that got them into space in the first place....(here is a hint...Arrow)
I am affraid that article is not totally correct. In fact DND has announced new sat based imaging and recon systems that will be online within three years and the Canadian Navy can operate in the north, I know I have been there.
I wouldn't joke, it would take all of 10 minutes for the Canadian Navy to dispense with the might Dane surface ship. Yes I said "the" Danish surface ship.
It continues to amaze me that any dispute that doesn't involve the US is sidelined as trivial. Just look at the comments (granted a few are simply out of jest), but this is a sovereignty issue. I would love to see the US give up some small islands off the coast of Alaska to Russia! If the tides were turned all you yanks would be screaming invade, so when it happens to Canada you snicker and point fingers..grow up people.

"If the it is illegal in the USA it is illegal everywhere."
Bullshit

Big, deal this isn't knew, shit I was studying our galaxy's structure back in my undergrad years in the late 90's.
This is definately not new

I guess my point was you bet you can controll, or even deny passage to vessels within the 200nm limit.
I bet you wish your country was only half as great as Canada, what was that...yet another poll ranking Canada as the 2nd best country in the world to live in. Hum, I think the US made the top 15, yeah, its better than Africa!!

interesting comment, now you know how the rest of the world feels everytime they here "American" enjoy
there is no claim, Canada OWNES the Northen passage, period.
when it comes to nations above sea level, Canada has little to worry about compared to the coastal US that is.

OH SHIT! Man, DON'T TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THAT! in true Napoleon Dynamite fashion GAWD!!! The Celine Dion superweapon is classified you idiot!!
