As much as submarine patrols are probably the best idea, you have to have the endurance to stay under the ice for a long period of time, and have the ability to come up through the ice as needed.

Asserting arctic sovereignty means more than just presence and detection abilities. An overflight here and an ice breaker there doesn't cut it. Canada needs to be capable of intervention if unwelcome vessels enter its waters in the strategically important north.
I agree, nuclear subs are the best option.
