"...if there has ever been a nation that never truly possessed a  
foreign policy of its own - particularly in respect to military  
conflicts - that country is Canada."

Canada is the only nation in the world whose mainland borders three of  
the world's five oceans: The Arctic, The Atlantic and the Pacific.

The United States only secured access to the Arctic Ocean with the  
acquisition of non-contiguous Alaska from Russia in 1867 and Russia  
can only access the Atlantic through the Barents and Norwegian Seas.

The three oceans in question are exactly those in and over which  
Russia has recently resumed strategic air patrols and naval and  
submarine deployments starting in late 2007 after a hiatus of almost

prepared for just such an eventuality.
