How much is Arctic security worth?

[Elmo T]

Very interesting article about Canadian defense of the Great White North.

Canada's line of defence (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/time-to-lead/military/how-much-is-arctic-security-worth/article1774292/)

I will readily admit, as a good citizen of the USA, I've completely taken this for granted.

I hope Canada has it's act together. I just read today that the US lost contact with 50 ICBM's for 45minutes!!! They claim it wasn't human error but didn't want to speculate on the cause just yet. If it was hacked by a hostile country...:(
