The Arctic is up for grabs.
Meanwhile the Canadian government is wasting money, sending 20 billion to the dumbasses in Ukraine to help wage an unwinnable war against an Arctic power.
Talk about taking your eyes off the ball. When ideology and the special interests of foreign lobbies seep into a country's national security policy disaster and defeat ensues.
Besides, no amount of cash, tears, and weapons can save Ukraine from its fate. Let it collapse and let Russia re-inherit it. It will rebuild it better than the scoundrels in the EU.
Video Title: The End of Arctic Exceptionalism. Source: Center for Strategic & International Studies. Date Published: March 23, 2025. Description:
Climate change and the reduction in sea ice is opening new shipping routes, and making it easier to tap the arctic’s natural resource wealth, especially critical minerals. For Canada, a country where the arctic represents 40 percent of its territory and 75 percent of its coastline, the changing arctic presents new challenges and opportunities. However, Canada’s sovereignty over its vast arctic territory is exercised by only a very small military presence on land and occasionally at sea.
In this episode, Christopher Hernandez-Roy sits down with Vincent Rigby, senior adviser with the CSIS Americas Program and professor at the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University. Together, they discuss Canada's current force posture in the arctic and priorities for bolstering Canadian sovereignty there. They also examine current U.S.-Canada tensions, and how Ottawa can manage these without sacrificing the need for cooperation and interoperability with the United States to tackle threats in and through the arctic.
