Ok @PierrePoilievre, since you like stories, let's recap: The facts clearly show massive, active investments across the North, including specific operational hubs in Whitehorse, Yukon. We can look past the online rage bait and examine the real details of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s comprehensive Arctic plan. 🇨🇦 SECURING CANADA’S ARCTIC: A NEW ERA OF ACTION 🇨🇦 Both Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau failed to secure Canada’s Arctic and modernize NORAD. ❌ Stephen Harper promised three heavy armed icebreakers and a deepwater naval port at Nanisivik. He ultimately scrapped the ships and downgraded the port to a seasonal refueling station. ✅ Justin Trudeau announced a $38.6 billion NORAD commitment in June 2022. ❌ He spread this funding over a massive 20 YEARS period, severely delaying immediate, concrete action. Prime Minister Mark Carney is treating Arctic security with the seriousness it requires. In his first weeks in office, his government immediately expended $6.5 billion to advance the Arctic Over the Horizon Radar system. On March 12, 2026, Carney announced the immediate deployment blueprint for the remaining $35 billion from the 2022 NORAD pool: • $32B for military base upgrades in Yellowknife, Inuvik, Iqaluit, and Goose Bay. • $2.67B for Northern Operational Support Hubs in locations like Whitehorse and Resolute. 🚧 New 2026 Real Initiatives Carney also announced new civilian and dual use infrastructure projects. The Major Projects Office will fast track these initiatives to accelerate construction: • Mackenzie Valley Highway: Construction begins this summer to connect Wrigley to Inuvik. • Grays Bay Road and Port: A 230 km all season road and new deepwater port in Nunavut. • Arctic Economic and Security Corridor: A 400 km all season road through the Slave Geological Province. • Taltson Hydro Expansion: Adding 60 megawatts to double NWT hydro capacity. • Civilian Airport Upgrades: $294 million for the Rankin Inlet and Inuvik airports. 📈 Combined Total Investments These combined commitments represent nearly $49 billion in active, rolling investments for Northern security and infrastructure. #cdnpoli #ArcticDefence #NORAD #NorthernCanada #Infrastructure #Yukon ****** Sources: • Department of National Defence: Canada's NORAD Modernization Plan Framework (June 2022). • Prime Minister's Office: Official Press Release on Arctic Defence and Infrastructure Blueprint (March 12, 2026). • Major Projects Office: 2026 Northern Infrastructure Fast Track Initiatives. • Parliamentary Budget Officer / Historical Defence Reports: Status of Nanisivik Naval Facility and Polar Icebreaker Procurement (Harper Era records).
