This week on APTN InFocus, host Cierra Bettens explores what Arctic sovereignty really means for Inuit in the North.
As federal leaders call for more military infrastructure - from bases in Iqaluit to new fleets of fighter jets - questions are being raised about who these efforts protect, and at what cost.
Journalist David Pugliese from the Ottawa Citizen joins Bettens to break down Canada’s defence strategy and what’s driving the push for control in the region. Also, former APTN reporter Danielle Paradis reflects on her 2023 podcast The Place That Thaws, which revisits the forced relocation of Inuit in the 1950s—an earlier attempt by Canada to assert sovereignty.
