I have a lot of issues with Trudeau but the one thing I have to give him is that he can really deal with Trump well

Side note but since when is Canada a major source of drug cartels and fentanyl production lol?

The Arctic is an important topic?

Referring to glacier melt or something else?

Because that's not an Arctic-specific phenomenon, that's global.

I doubt it's about glacier melt... Maybe he thinks there's oil to be had up there.

It's called the northwest passage. It's supposed to be a vital shipping route once the ice melts.

It's also an important region for defense. Look at a map of the north pole. Russia is right there. We've never had to worry about a naval incursion before. With melting ice we do.

And, yes, there is oil up there.
