Michael J. BurgessCanada and the Nordics are moving closer in the Arctic, and the reason is bigger than one summit.
This is about reducing dependence on an unpredictable US, strengthening Arctic sovereignty, tightening defence cooperation, and building stronger trade and industrial links with Europe as Russia, Greenland, and critical minerals all become more strategically important.
It also shows how much the world is shifting. Old assumptions about who leads, who protects, and who can be relied on are being tested in real time.
Is this a smart move towards strategic autonomy, or a sign the Western order is starting to fracture?
