A cold water port is ostensibly useless you realize?

A cold water port would be usable at least part of the year, and judging from what I've been hearing, the Arctic is gonna be a heavy seaway in 20-30 years due to climate change/global warming.
In other words, its better than no port for now, and may be worth a lot in the future.
Also with all this Canada/NAFTA reciprocity, I think we can all agree that it would be better for all sides to be cordial. If Canada gets benevolent, its gonna backfire and look bad on it. Picking on a breakaway republic, be it economically, politically or militarily will obliterate Canada's reputation and damage its foreign relations. Conversely, the less growing pains for a new country the better.
If Canada fails, its better off to be pals than to have a "bitter divorce".
