Not with Russia doing a lot of the work. If I remember correctly Canada only has something like three nuclear powered icebreakers. Also, I seem to recall that the icebreakers we have are getting up there in age and really don't compete with either the American or Russian ones (not entirely sure though). The area is notoriously difficult to assert dominance over simply due to the huge area. Personally I think it would be fantastic if this came to pass as a viable shipping option.
