Canadian Arctic Stategy: A Discussion with MP Erin O’Toole
MP Erin O’Toole sits down with Dr. Jessica Shadian, President and CEO of Arctic360, to discuss Canada’s Arctic and the absence of a long-term strategic plan for this important region. Dr. Shadian explains how Canada can learn from other Arctic nations to create a strategy which addresses security, sovereignty, investment and infrastructure concerns in our North, and talks about the work of Arctic360, Canada’s premier Arctic-policy thinktank.
