China's number of nuclear powered submarines: 10 and growing
Russia's number of nuclear powered submarines: 37 and growing
United States' number of nuclear powered submarines: 68 and growing
Canada's number of nuclear powered submarines: 0, no plans for any purchases
These are plain and simple numbers illustrating who effectively has control of the arctic UNDERNEATH the ice, and it isn't the country that so-called "owns" the land.
If the States are going to have to spend billions of dollars protecting North America and Canada's arctic "sovereignty", then they may as well take a large cut of whatever is there for themselves. Nearly nobody lives there, so just make the "Canadian" arctic a US territory already.
