Don't forget that Canada now has a LAND border with Denmark, on Hans Island in between Ellesmere and Greenland. This was finally settled just recently. The story of the "Whiskey War" between Canada and Denmark is worth telling.
Saying the archipelago was of no historical significance before the british arrived is wild. The Pre-Dorset people settled Baffin Island at least 5000 years ago, followed by the Dorset, followed by the Thule, followed by the Inuit. All of these groups had/have rich traditions and cultures.
Although it is true to say it has little infrastructure, that is only by comparison, I live in iqaluit Although I'm not from here, I can say that there are grocery stores, bars restaurants a great hospital beautiful architecture and more, it has way more than alot cities of this population its not barren and there are many wonderful intelligent people here from all over, it's definitely worth visiting if you get the chance
Not to be rude, just a little correction, when you circled Baffin, Victoria and Ellesmere Island at 3:58, you also circled Bylot, Stefansson and Axel Heiberg Islands along with them. No hate, I love your channel!
If one travels just to the opposite side of the North Pole it could be argued that Canada in a sense has a border with Russia as well ( although not quite as contiguous as with the nations mentioned ). I think you folks would do well to charge transit fees for the NW passage ( don't let us in the US bully or schmooze our way out of it ). With substantial regulatory oversight, it might be a good thing to tap into the mineral and petroleum resources that abound there
I literally just said The Canadian Arctic Archipelago and then realized that’s the video title too lmao I was looking at the thumbnail when I said that.
Bon vidéo jeune homme.... parcontre tu pourrais aussi inclure l'impact social sur les communautés Inuits d'un potentiel développement de l'Arctique Canadien. Je trouve que c'est non négligeable dans l'équation.... keep up the good work
couple points 1: You talk about the lack of an Artic Fleet, but don't even mention the fact of the Artic Patrol ship program that is taking steps to change. Since it has been in work for at least five years before you video you should have mention that. 2: The idea of charging panama style fees for travel is a non starters not because of Russia, but because the US has already set a firm position that it is an international waterway.
It is not international waterway lol. International laws say it is 100% canadian even in between islands. USA have no word to say on our internal politics.
Ellesmere is a two syllable word, not three. A basic mistake like this right off the hop shows me that you know less about Canadian geography than I do.
Use it, or lose it. With China and Russia eager to exploit Canada's vast resources and new ice free waterways, Ottawa really has no choice. It must build more ice-capable patrol vessels, and make regular flyovers of sensitive border areas and navigable waters. Canada and the U.S. already have reciprocal patrol agreements, and those need to be expanded. As the Arctic nation with the most experience, Russia is ahead of the game. Its time for Canada and the U.S. to catch up.

Settle down with your capslock, you should know it's a technicality

You didn't mention Muskox the largest and coolest artic animal found on almost all the islands.
Thank you for the fantastic video!! So good.
Great info share! 👍
Great points on Canada needing to beef up our northern border.
'archipelago' is such a delicious word for putting emphassiss on the wrong syllabull because arcki-pe-lego' works too when youre sassy
"what Panama has done"
classic

Please tell us more about Ruperts Land.

We should settle in those islands
Looks good👍🏽 new shirt?
🚨Canada information man has new shirt 🚨
Great video, coming from a Canadian 🇨🇦
Canada should increase its military and commercial presence in the Artic to protect its territory and national interests,
Nice content man 👌
Great video!
Very informative. Keep it up
I would say defend it from Russia and protect it
Sir, @ 4:00 Ellesmere Island is marked incorrectly...the marking includes Axel Heiberg which is not part of Ellesmere Island
I literally just said The Canadian Arctic Archipelago and then realized that’s the video title too lmao I was looking at the thumbnail when I said that.
👍👌👏😊❤️🇺🇸
We should move more people up there
Wanne volunteer?
@@maru-dy5ld yes please
Tu es très bon Christian. De Mimi
Is Labrador a province?
Along with Newfoundland, yes.
Newfoundland and Labrador became Canada's 10th province in 1949.
No, it is part of Québec.
The Earth goes through natural cycles of heating and cooling, so this open passageway will not be available forever.

The arctic peoples would benefit greatly by development in this area.
Very interesting and informative. Just a pity you use odd American pronunciation of the word "route" as "rout".
What would they look like on a flat.

Your newest video doesn't have comments, because YT thinks it is for kids :(

Why UK let go of Canada and Australia?
Because Canada saved UK in 2 world war.

Yeah, if russia isn't stopped in Ukraine they could invade the Canadian archipelago for sure

😂😂😂 we already use it. Try to violate or sovereignty over Arctic and see how you become a brand new coral reefs and fish habitat.
Justin Trudeau can never invest in the north 🤦
