Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, seen during a news conference on July 19. He and the NATO secretary general are set to visit Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, this Thursday.
The stop in Cambridge Bay is significant because Canada has been attempting to avoid the Arctic security issues, said Rob Huebert, associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Calgary. Huebert is also a senior research fellow with the Centre for Military Security and Strategic Studies.
Cambridge Bay puts Trudeau and Stoltenberg right at the gateway of the Northwest Passage through the High Arctic Islands, which are expected to become more accessible to maritime traffic as Arctic ice melts. Huebert said he suspects this week's visit is an effort to push Canada into taking that threat seriously.
