Don't look now, but Canada is the buffer zone between USA and Russia

Just like Ukraine is a buffer between Russia and NATO. Innumerable knobs from sundry Raytheon-Lockheed-Boeing financed thinktanks routinely get vast acreage in the pages of The Globe and Mail to exhort us to crawl ever deeper up Uncle Sam’s arse. Thank God we finally agreed to a F-35 purchase that’ll run into the hundreds of billions! And let’s not be stingy about the NORAD refresh. And let’s get a nuclear submarine fleet! Oh how it hurts not to be invited into AUKUS! And what about the Arctic? Maps can be deceiving. But look at a globe and you’ll see what’s on the other side of “our” Arctic… RUSSIA! OH MY GOD!!! Luckily, we’ve got our Rangers up there. Yup, a few dozen Inuit dudes with government-issue antique snowmobiles and WW2 era military rifles. No offence intended to those Inuit dudes, but to protect our Arctic against Putin’s aggression we’re gonna need a bit more than that. We need to get some serious colonization of the north happening. We gotta get boots on the ground and bums in the seats, so to speak, to cement Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic. Fortunately for the future of Canada, the think tank here at Falling Downs has come up with a plan. “Temporary” foreign workers! That’s right! Defending our Arctic is another one of those jobs Canadians don’t want to do, like apple-picking and chicken-catching. Bring in a million new TFWs per year with a fast-track to citizenship, with the proviso that they commit ten years to living in the Arctic! That’ll also ease the pressure on the housing market, because they can just build igloos as required. By golly, I think we’re looking at a win-win and win again here! We populate the far north with Canadians. We stymie Putin’s plan to annex our barren (or so he thought) northlands. And we alleviate the housing crisis! As a special bonus, we can easily fit 60,000,000 new Canadians into those vast empty spaces, thereby achieving the goal of bringing our population to 100 million! Century Canada indeed!
