I didn't think it was possible, but it appears as though the new conservative Government of Canada is even more wacked than the old liberal Government:
The Danes?! And the United States? Have they not noticed that we share a 3000-mile land border--not to mention a quite thoroughly intermeshed economy and workforce? These guys are completely off the fairway.
The U.S. ambassador to Canada said his government opposes Harper's proposed plan to deploy military icebreakers in the Arctic to detect interlopers and assert Canadian sovereignty over those waters.
During the federal election campaign, which culminated in Harper's win earlier this week, the Conservatives promised to spend $5.3 billion over five years to defend northern waters against the Americans, Russians and Danes.

Man I bet all them dirty-foot hippies that migrated to Canada after GW won a second term are kicking themselves, haha.
Where is the return on the 5.3 billion for guarding a sea of ice? It’s got be politics, I bet the new guy is standing up to the US to get rid of that “Bush loves Harper” card the liberal party used throughout the election.
I agree there's got to be more going on here than meets the eye, but damned if I know what it might be. What's the strategy: alienate everybody?
