There may be a Russian flag planted on a seabed below the North Pole, but Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says “everybody knows” the pole belongs to Canada.
Trudeau made the tongue-in-cheek response when asked if the Kremlin’s claim to the polar region holds any merit. The Liberal prime minister said though Russian President Vladimir Putin isn’t “automatically” wrong — that doesn’t mean his Arctic claim is right, either.
“I’m sure there are Americans who would point to Alaska as the closest point to the North Pole, and the Danes do the same to Greenland. And so forth,” Trudeau said during a global town hall hosted by The Huffington Post Canada in Toronto on Monday.
He added that the hot-topic issue of Arctic sovereignty is one that won’t be decided by politicians, but ultimately by scientists and international experts.
“I trust science,” Trudeau said, slipping in his own take on Pu

Please Vladimir...squash him first.
I’m curious what scientists or international experts will be armed and ready to protect the Great White North. Is there some vast Army that Canada has not told us about?
Obviously he wants to tax Santa Claus.
Is it just me, or is this guy a total twit?
Exactly. The North Pole is nothing but ice and water. Ownership has no known strategic value. As far as I'm concerned, it can go to any nation who chooses to defend it. Maybe Jamaica will send their Olympic ski team.
Beg to differ. There are underground bases or something there. Something of importance is up there.Too many explorations and interest.
It’s not just you.
On the bright side, there has never been this many people fired up and ready to leave the confederation in Saskatchewan and Alberta as there are today.
It’s time to leave.
If the US gets fixed up, there’s even been talk about joining you folks.
What this guy is isn’t spelled with an “i”.
The Armys Polar Ice Base. Im sure there are more. http://www.defensetech.org/2012/04/06/inside-the-armys-secret-cold-war-ice-base/

Good to hear!
We elect these clowns.
We truly deserve that armeggedon comet.
So, is little Trudeau asking Putin to plant a Russian flag in front of Parliament Hill in Ottawa?
Now they want the north pole too?
Forget goose-stepping commies, there is going to be Canadians on zambonis riding roughshod over the free world before you know it.
“There are underground bases or something there.”
Yep, that is where the Illuminati have their headquarters.
The arctic ocean is an ocean, not a land mass. All of the the international agreements concerning oceans applies to the arctic.
The significance of the North pole as a geographical location is no greater than the significance of the Equator or the Tropic of Cancer.
Six drunk Russian sailors could do this in twelve minutes, and probably fight off a dozen Dudley Do-Rights while hoisting the flag.
Maybe he is thinking of magnetic north???
Underground bases at the North Pole? That would be a need trick. The ice is a floating, drifting pack at averages about 10-12 ft thick, a bit tricky to burrow into. Or do you mean truly "underground", which would require a base under the ocean floor which is over 13,000 ft deep?
