Hey Guys,

Here is an article about Canada and the "Battle for the Arctic" that provides a decent overview of the situation: http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2009/battleforthearctic/

In other news today a group of men from Papua New Guinea have been rescued after more than two months adrift in the Pacific Ocean. This has nothing to do with our topics but it's crazy so it made the post.

Update

Here is an old, but still relevent article concerning efforts to strengthen the NPT regime and limit production of weapons-grade Uranium and Plutonium.

Another, somewhat antiquated, but nonetheless relevent article on the situation that Canada faces in the Arctic, and some information regarding plans by other states to protect what they feel is theirs.
