Canadians protest Arctic icebreaker voyage sparks nerve for defense
Mel Hurtig of the Council of Canadians says the Polar Sea voyage touched a nerve in defending Canada as four Edmonton and Northwest Territories activists returned from a protest flight. They planted Canadian flags on a nearby island near Melville Island after attempting to land closer to the ship under rough ice. The group views U S plans through internal waters as controversial and call on Prime Minister Mulroney to protest the voyage ongoing from Thule Greenland to Point Barrow Alaska. Inuit leader Gruben urged stronger government measures on the crossing of the Polar Sea in internal waters.
