I find it quite disturbing how many people on this site think that the US will or may invade Canada. It is something that will never happen.

I'm not saying that the U.S. would invade Canada, the days of the manifest destiny are long past, even though the Pentagon probably still has operation polar slaughter locked in a filing cabinet ready to go.
If your going to patrol something you patrol in force, you don't wave the flag around from the yardarm of a 10 foot rowboat. Sadly its an upredictable world and you never know when you or Nato might need to have armed arctic patrol vessels.
