Canadian biologists have now successfully cloned large, fertile, multicellular organisms capable of living healthy lives. This technology won't be used for making clone armies and will instead be used on peaceful applications like....more maple trees. Or sentient bears.
Canadian biologists shift their focus towards resurrecting extinct organisms and as such Canada requests that any nations in possession of tissue of an extinct organism be sent to Canada for research purposes.
Canada would also like to purchase two small islands in the pacific, preferably nearish the equator.
