Arctic security means more than Arctic sovereignty

A new poll asked Canadians and citizens of seven other Arctic countries, “From what you know or have heard, is the Northwest Passage within Canadian waters, an international waterway or in dispute?” Seventy-eight per cent of Canadians living in the three territories and 74 per cent of Canadians living in the provinces said within our waters. A majority of respondents in the other countries – the United States, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland – said they didn’t know.
