Soooo... what is the danger here?

That someone else will build infrastructure that the Canadian government clearly has no intention of building;

That in doing so, they will believe they have more right in the region than the nation that is effectively the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree that is the Doctrine of Discovery.

❝
Internal CSIS documents obtained by CBC News show that the agency is trying to grow its presence in the North and deepen its relationship with Inuit communities in response to "economic, strategic and military interests of foreign states in the North."

Ballsy.

@Gigi it's sadly hilarious that the obvious solution to this would be for Canada to build infrastructure there but of course that's not on the table. "Watch out! Other countries might be willing to give you a better deal than the Canadian Mining State! Be on your guard against people who might treat you better than us!"

@Geoffberner

RIGHT!?

And then try to schmooze their way in, to what? get them to work as proxy CSIS agents?

I'm trying to remember the last time I read a news article that involved CSIS that didn't make me shake my head in disbelief.
