12. No prob.

It's actually a pretty interesting situation. A map of northern Canada:



shows the "Northwest Passage" as M'Clure Strait to the west joining Parry Channel going east (with several Canadian islands to the north, the largest being Ellesmere Island), then proceeding south through Baffin Bay west of Greenland. However, if the artic ice pack ever recedes further north in the Artic Ocean to the vicinity of the North Pole, the small map insert shows a much wider (and shorter to Europe) potential path to the north of both Canada and Greenland (which is considered international waters (ice)). As well, IIRC, both Russia and China have made noises about the Northwest Passage being declared international waters.

Russia has not claimed AFAIK any lands this side of the North Pole but, since the Canadian Artic islands are so sparsely populated and developed, that is a big concern as Canada would have little chance of repelling Russian aggression there.

Trump is right about one thing at least - Canada had better get more serious about military contributions to both NATO and, defense of the Canadian Artic.
