A right-wing blogger finds much to praise in a Tyee article by ex-NDP candidate Michael Byers on Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic.

Conservative Reporter has posted a long item on The Northwest Passage, the Arctic and Canada's claim to it, with several video clips plus links to various news stories about Harper's position on Arctic sovereignty.

Surprisingly, the post also includes a link to a Tyee article by Michael Byers published here in 2006.

The Hook anticipates a surge in enrolment by Conservatives in Byers's UBC course in Arctic Sovereignty and International Relations, followed by snow flurries at higher elevations in Hell.
