Economy 53,135 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2522102/Canadas-lays-claim-Arctic-hold-15-undiscovered-oil.html Under current international UN Law, A country can only claim up to 200 nautical miles of Ocean towards the arctic that is outside their Coast. USA, Canada, Norway, Denmark and Russia are the 5 Countries fighting to own the North Pole with Denmark questioned why it applied for ownership given no land attachment In order to win the North Pole, they must prove scientifically that the section of their Continent is a part of the North Pole. Russia and Canada are the most likely candidates given that their land is the closest to the North. Still both Countries have yet to find a scientific loophole to make them technical owners and being given rights Due to massive Oil and Gas potential everyone wants the North Pole. Russia has ever since increased Military presense in Canadas Northern border in which the Northern Military base "Alert" keeps and eye on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenland is the closest so it surprises me they never put in a bid But lets be honest, im not just saying this cause im biased as a Canadian... Being real here, who can be trusted with it more? Canada or Russia? I think we all know the answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear 7,515 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I hope Russia don't get it, they have more than enough oil and land, but more to the point I don't want them to get the economical boost it could give. 1 minute ago, RAMROD said: Never knew North Pole is so popular. They gonna builds secret bunker in there? They want it for the money, it contains up to 30% of the worlds natural gas reserves and up to 15% of the worlds oil. If they own it they're free to use all of it . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Canada already has way more oil than Russia Russia: 60 Billion Barrels Canada: 175 Billion Barrels But Russia does have more gas. And they already supply half of Europes Natural gas I also agree with the economic boost. They are dangerous. More money for them is a bad idea Still dont get why Greenland didnt apply for ownership given they are closer than anyone But since Greenland didnt, Canada is the closest of the applicants Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we did was put in a bid and we have a military base up in the far north... But they keep flying over planes on the north part of our land and breaching our borders We havent retaliated because they havent damaged anything, and also no ones lives in the far north other than the military base... Also if we retaliated wed die cuz their army is aproximately 6-7 times more heavily funded than ours But its not fair. If Canada flew over their land all the time spying, id like to see how chill Putin would be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
