Remember when Toronto called in the military to clear snow? Here's how this storm compares
That was Toronto in January 1999, and to most people who experienced it, it was entirely too much snow.

Canada's icebreaker pact looked great until Trump started threatening the Arctic
But Canada is still assisting the Americans in developing the very technology that could enable them to one day seize control of all or part of Canada's Arctic archipelago. In that year the U.S. Coast Guard heavy icebreaker USCGC Polar Sea sailed from Greenland to the Chukchi Sea through the Northwest Passage. (The distance between Arctic islands often exceeds the standard 12 nautical miles considered to be a nation's territorial waters. The first deliveries of mid-sized Arctic Security Cutters are not expected until 2028-29, when the mandate of the current president is supposed to end. Huebert sees the threat as more present in Canada's Arctic islands than the passage.

Can NATO survive Trump? RadioDuration 30:05Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump set off a firestorm with comments dismissing the military contributions of fellow NATO members during the war in Afghanistan.

Man left in snow outside Prince Albert hospital joins call for inquiry into security
