And just in case Canada thought it was immune from waterborne crude (and derivatives) invasions, here is CBC reporting that a fuel tanker with 9 million liters of diesel has run aground in the Northwest Passage, on a sandbar close to the Nunavut community of Gjoa Haven. It is unclear if any of the diesel has spilled, although we expect some demonstrative eating of shrimp, penguins, Taq polymerase, or whatever it is that lives in these extreme temperatures, by some world leader, to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that all is well, and there is no need to panic.

A fuel tanker carrying nine million litres of diesel fuel has run aground in the Northwest Passage, the Canadian Coast Guard confirmed Thursday.

Gjoa Haven is located on the southeast coast of King William Island.

Mighty tough water way to run a big tanker through.

Quick! Someone get me a siphon pump!

On second though... I only use about 1000 gallons of diesel a year. 9 million liters would be a little excessive.
