In an article posted on cbc.ca, Canada claims they wont be pushed around by anyone whenit comes to laying claim to the arctic. Interest in claiming the thawing sea is becoming a major issue as countries are trying lay claim to one of the last largely untouched deposits of fossil fuels. Furthermore with the ice melting shipping in the region is also becoming much easier to access by boat. Although it mentions that Russia is puting together an army for the purpose, Canada military has been putting arctic patrols throught the region for quite some time now. Rest assured Canada will not be caught with its pants down when it comes to arctic sovereignty.
