IMO, most of #Canada's current focus on working in the #Arctic is inspired by the China-Russia joint naval training operation north into the Chukchi. Once.
It is not baseless. But is it proportional? Canada has a vast norther coastline. So does Russia. And Canada + Allies are up there annually.
#Canadian activity in the north should increase, including #CAF. But also #trade, #NWPassage, #tourism.
