    1. Drones drones drones for surveillance.

      Then double dip and create our own Starlink that we can use for drones + rural internet in general.

    2. >In a Warming Arctic, a Fight Brews Over the Fabled Northwest Passage

      >The Inuit of the far north helped solve the mystery of a doomed 19th-century expedition. Now Canada needs them to strengthen its claim to this newly contested region.

      >Today, with sea ice melting fast, the Northwest Passage is open long enough to welcome thousands of tourists annually aboard large cruise ships. Nine are expected to dock this year at Gjoa Haven, an Inuit hamlet whose history is tied to the passage’s past and could help secure its future.

    3. Canada has always been a weak country that couldn’t protect its borders. It’s first line of defense is law. Due to this, the agreements that Canadians have with Indigenous groups allows Canada to control lands that Canadians don’t want to live on. About 50% of Canadians live between Hamilton and Montreal. Most of the others live in cities within 200kms of the USA border.

      Canada did not conquer the lands it sits on. In my area, it made peace and friendship treaties with nations that were one of its largest trading partners. In short, Canada needs Indigenous groups to stay where they are so those agreements have meaning. Google „Canada human flag poles“ and see how crazy that fear got.

      Due to not having earned the land through conquest, those agreements with First Nations form a crucial foundation of Canada’s laws and right to the lands it now calls „Canadian“. It’s first line of defense will always be law.

      Is their some kind of methodology, or court, to determine the merit of the canadian position? Who decides if an area is an international strait open to navigation or territorial waters?

      The the New York Times mention that the United States has never respected Canada’s arctic sovereignty?

      The United States has been sending ships and submarines through Canadian waters for half a century if not more.

    6. An international waterway that as has multiple routes – all of which have portions over two thousand KMs long well within Canada’s borders?

      Are the Suez and Panama Canals are international waterways?

      GTFOH.
