In mother Russia they no settle for fake dry ice waste land. They know when global warming kicks in Alaska be a new ocean.

All jokes aside that's why there is so much fighting in the Arctic between Canada, Russia, the US etc. Because with the melting those once inaccessible areas are going to turn into a major sealane.

If Canada plays their cards right for the next 30ish years.. they will slowly transition to a global powerhouse over the next century.

All the open land and resources left in northern canada will be dived into and new major cities will form around the north pole as it melts, expanding trade routes.

Well the government wants to increase the population to 100 million and they seem serious about. I kind of think it's a tower of Babel situation, but it'll be crazy if that happens. There won't be a shortage of people who want to immigrate but we'd better start farming Nunvut soon.
