| Probably has more to do with the oil around it, I'd think. |

| Is this island too important to just hand over or even split? The description “a square kilometre of uninhabited rock in the Arctic” didn’t really do much for it. |

| LOL it would most likely be a snowball fight. Not it would be more like: Canada: Stop it, or we'll send the states after you! Greenland: No no please don't do that, noo!!! Canada: Fine, we'll send quebec after you Quebec: Quoi? |

| Watch this, a WW3 will be caused because of global warming. Well all wars lately seem to revolve around ways of making polution, so pollution can actually help a war happen by making the ice melt. It all seems to tie together fairly well. Wait a minute, we have warships??? Like, for war? Oh yeah that's true we had 5 and gave 3 to the states, so now we have 2 left. They better take good care of them since that's all we have left.  |

| http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200508/s1444388.htm The Canadian Government is sending two warships north to the Arctic Ocean as part of efforts to assert territorial claims. The move comes amid a dispute between Canada and the Danish territory of Greenland about which of them has sovereignty over Hans Island, a square kilometre of uninhabited rock in the Arctic. Canada is deeply worried that it has taken what it considers its Arctic territory for granted. It is also believed that global warming is causing the rapid melting of the ice across the Arctic and that could make the legendary North-West Passage linking the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans passable for ships for the first time. The United States has already warned that it regards the passage as an international strait, not Canadian waters. Russia, Norway and Denmark also have competing claims to the continental shelf and the natural resources such as gas and oil that may lie beneath the seabed. |
