Northern Sovereignty

Posted on Friday, May 19 at 08:50 by eugene
In Ottawa, it's hard to get a sense that many see things the way the aforementioned observers do. If the future is north, as Mr. Mulroney says, you'd never know it by listening to the Liberal leadership candidates or -- though it has made some promises on Arctic sovereignty -- the Conservative government. China is paid little heed. And rather than go international, as Mr. Clark recommends, the Harperites were being accused by the opposition parties this week of being more inclined to bed down with a besieged America. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20060518.COMARTIN18/TPStory/specialComment/columnists

    The first "northern vision" was likely that of Diefenbaker (who initiated construction of the Dempster Highway in Yukon and NWT).

    As an ex-Yukoner, I guess it's about time for a new vision for the north. Hey, with global warming, it's our only hinterland.
