FYI: Canada has become very concerned about maintaining its "sovereignty" (i.e. control) in its arctic territory in recent years. In particular it has become concerned that other countries might become bold enough to pouch resources in Canadian territory, whether those resources be oil, minerals or wildlife. In the last 20 years the Russians and Chinese have done a lot of arctic "exploring". Further the Canadians became concerned about Greenlanders crossing the border in search of fish and game. Thus the Canada stepped up its "presence" patrols in the arctic, consisting of Arctic Rangers, RCMP constables and member of the Canadian Armed Forces.
