are a mine
What Canada Trump wants is our vast mineral wealth in the North West
Territories and Nunavut. There mines  in Rankin Inlet and Yellowknife, Gold in
Yellowknife.
Also Better forward operating locations (FOL)to get at Russian Bombers from
crossing into our Arctic. 5000 foot runway. I once flew to a camp to fix a
satellite dish.

Everything ran on dishes up there.

There is a location in Rankin Inlet NWT, I know, I cleaned it during a strike.

 Mile long runway with arrester cables for fighter jets. Only problem is that
current US jets couldn't fit in the hanger back then. Was that General ever
pissed as well as our telling him it would take 2 weeks to get is operational

When they fly in the North there are snow storms where you look up and 100 feet
up there is a storm. The planes make approaches and if they can see the runway
at 500 feet they land, if not, they suck up the gear and go to  firewall
throttle and try to land again , if they cannot land they go to Iqauit on
Baffin Island. It's fun. 3-4 hour flight to Baffin Island 

BTW there is now a road into Tuktoyaktuk (I  heard), that helps for another FOL
actually on the Arctic Ocean.

Remember -40C and no wind is a nice day.
