Threats to the Canadian Arctic have “shifted significantly” in recent years amidst Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and an upended geopolitical order, Canada’s foreign minister says.
But despite political tensions, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand told The West Block’s Jeff Semple that Canada and the United States remain in close coordination on Arctic security and sovereignty issues.
Anand said she attended a meeting of Arctic nations convened by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week and they “had a frank discussion about the collective need to work together on Arctic security.”
“So the United States is very much at the table in this conversation. And one of the ongoing dialogues that Secretary Rubio and I have had specifically … is in fact how can Canada and the United States ensure that our shared interests in the Arctic are advocated, are worked on within the confines of multilateral organizations including NATO.”
Anand, who formerly served as minister of national defence under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, pointed to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to ramp up defence spending and the impact that money will have on northern security. That includes a massive contract to German company TKMS to build a new fleet of as many as 12 submarines, as well as the federal governments still as-yet finalized decision to buy new fighter jets.

On the diplomatic front, Anand pointed to the newly-opened Canadian consulate in Nuuk, Greenland, and plans to open one in Anchorage, Alaska.
Anand said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has changed thinking not only of the security environment in Europe, but in the Arctic as well.
“So while Canada has Operation Reassurance on the Eastern flank, we cannot forget that NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, should have a view that is based on a strategic assessment of the North and the Arctic, in order to ensure that we are well defended and protected in terms of the Arctic, not only on the Eastern flank” Anand said.
The threat to Canada’s Arctic maybe be shifting, but so are northerners’ perceptions of Canada’s once-closest ally.
Global News reported last week that new polling suggested residents of Canada’s North — including Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavik — view the United States as the greatest threat facing the region.
Nearly half of respondents (48 per cent) to a poll for the Observatoire de la politique et la sécurité de l’Arctique (OPSA) saw the U.S. has the greatest threat, followed distantly by Russia (30 per cent) and China (12 per cent).
If they think the US is a bigger threat than Russia/China needs to stop Checking social media.Trump(not US) is a threat but Putin is a much bigger one & if they come I would expect that the US would be in whether invited or not
@x ben dazzles the commie libs and is transitioning
US cannot be trusted anymore than any other country that has an interest in the arctic.
Anand all but admitting that Trump was right about Greenland. The threats are from a growing presence in the Arctic from Russia and even though China is not an Arctic nation they too have aspirations to get a foothold in the Arctic, and thanks to Trudeau making our military train them in cold weather warfare. Greenland is vitally strategic and Trump knew that. But all the elbozos were screaming when he said the US needed more presence in Greenland. How does that crow taste now Eh !!!
@ben, Mr fcking know it all, only ones you are fooling are libs whose butt is sore from clowny going in and out, everyone else see’s right through you, your moto is if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, dazzle them with density
You didn’t answer jack Ben. You continue to blame the private sector for Trudeau not agreeing to sell LNG to Germany. You never once clarified what changed since then.

The US is an Ally, and Anand makes friends with war criminals and honours them. Who are you gonna believe?
Ben, respectfully shut up.
One ship here or there is not a proven viable business concept.
When are you going to give us the change in the private sector that caused Carney to do a complete 180 on harnessing LNG? Still waiting for you to do so for 3 days now after you claimed it was the private sector that led Carney and JT to turn away Germany and Japan just 3 years ago.
So, just who are these threats from? China? Russia? Who? The ONLY country I see as threatening Canada is the USA and Trump. Carney needs to wake the f*ck up and so do these idiots who figure Trump is all bluster.
@Anonymous 738 pm. Respectfully, as per the European Space Agency, in 2007, the Northwest Passage was open to passage using non ice breaking ships. Harper said in 2007 that climate change was “perhaps the biggest threat to confront the future of humanity today.” So the Northwest Passage, and climate change, has been of great concern for some time.

this just in! Its all Fake and gay!
Europe has been and will be taken over stealthily, same will happen to Canada, no body cares enough to protect it
@Mother Russia – No Russia would be prosperous. Taking over countries is so decade type of move. Only Dictators does that kind of thing.
If it wasn’t for Putin every country would have carved Russia up long ago
Ben, the northwest passage wasn’t as much of a concern then that it is now. Now its a proven viable commercial route. During the Harper years, 13 years ago, that was not yet proven.
Or do you only look at “temporal influence” when it pertains to Carney refusing a deal to sell LNG to Germany and Japan just 3 years ago? Is 3 bigger than 13 to you?
I know. Yeah. Alright. Slzmxjksksmdjxkmsmsn83910328381
@Comradecarney 640pm. With respect, what did Harper do in the North? He announced various projects and never funded them. Military spending was close to 1% GDP under Harper, risong to 1.35% under Trudeau and 2% under Carney.

I think for Canadas sovereignty, we should move away from the USA and closer to China and Russia. We share the same values with them than the USA.
Not sure what happened here, But I completely agree with the comment from Ben 5:43. It is the Ben 4:46 I say isn’t fit for use as toilet paper

Russia is the biggest threat but arguably the US and China are a threat as well. It’s all about the resources in the north. We need to develop a stronger relationship with the EU.
Not a big fan of Ben, but who knows who posted this.
If you printed this comment out on paper , it would not be fit to wipe your butt with.
It was Harper who long ago pointed out Canada needed to do more. It was the hapless Liberals that ignored it the problem. They still would be, but for their irrational hatred of orange man
@ben. Showing your pinko commie colors. Everybody loves the USA. Shut up!
So Anand is basically saying that Trumps move to get more access to Greenland and increase military presence there was the right thing to do and all the screaming from the Liberals about Trump invading and taking Greenland was just lies to get the Elbozos screaming and keep their TDS alive. Just as Carney’s idiotic statement about preparing Canada for a US military invasion was also just hyperbole to keep the TDS going in his base. Fools will always be easily fooled.

I love how Russia is all, “we’re being threatened in the Arctic by NATO.”. Yeah. Sure.
Um, Murmansk? Arkangelsk? Submarine and surface fleet bases? Nuclear systems and weapons?
No one, and I mean NO ONE, has militarized the Arctic more than Russia. For decades. It’s not even close.
Only Elbows Up Carney Liberals thinks the USA is a bigger threat than Russia and China.
48 percent are making emotional views obviously… NOT reality views..
cunada is the biggest threat to cunada, heehaw guffaw rickshaw Zamboni floppy disk zippity bippity oink boink clap one two three
Sure USA will protect the North as no one else has the Navy.Carney liberals are the only threat to NWPassage
USA is the only supporter we have,they have an Navy and we have row boats.thanks to Liberals for 12 yrs.
We know the threats are real up here in Kugluktuk, because we read about them every day in the news.
I cannot look out at the water anymore because I know Trump is watching thru a periscope nearby.
Trump’s tariff’s have made life unaffordable lately, and most of my neighbors are maga who don’t respect my pronouns or my recent choice of gender.
Trump has ruined the world for me.
Its ok. We can use the nuclear powered subs we secured under the AUKUS deal. Oh thats right, Biden and the UK cut Trudeau out because they could not trust such Intel in the hands of a country so infiltrated with Chinese operatives.
@Jaydee. Yeah sure. LOL
Trump and Xi from China just had a meeting about who will own Canada with all its resources. Problem is the wacko leftists in Canada. Xi said he probably could bring in the Chinese military to keep the population under control. Trump wasn’t sure even with the military China could control the Elbows Up morons. Both decided to let Canada implode economically under Carneys leadership and make a decision later.
Trump is definitely a bigger threat to canada than russia and china.
Trump is going to invade Nunavut and steal all their minerals.
