As Northern Canada begins to see more and more environmental changes due to the increase in global warming and climate change, it is also seeing more international ships passing through posing even more risks.
This reading questions how Canada will address these issues either with or without the influence of a neoliberal society.
The Arctic has been a focus point in Canada when discussing environmental issues, and this publication breaks it down and discusses it in 3 main categories: climate change, changes in biodiversity, and the accumulation of toxic substances in the North.
This reading analyzes the ways that the Canadian government has downplayed climate change in the Arctic and does not properly acknowledge the fault of humans in global warming.
Additionally it looks at all other ways the government has framed climate change between 2006 and 2016.
The warming temperatures taking place in Canada's climate are not only concerning because of their environmental effects but also because the melting of the ice diminishes Canada's sovereignty over the area, as shipping in the area increases.
