About this listen

 Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by two leading voices on Canada’s Arctic — Stephen Van Dine, City Manager of Yellowknife and longtime expert in northern governance and sustainable development, and Dr. Rob Huebert, Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary and one of Canada’s foremost authorities on Arctic defence and security.

Together, we explore how Canada’s North is becoming the new frontier for both economic opportunity and national security. Stephen Van Dine shares his first-hand perspective from Yellowknife, a community at the crossroads of mining, infrastructure, and Indigenous-led development and discusses the ambitious Arctic Economic Security Corridor, a proposed 900-kilometre highway to the Northwest Passage. Rob brings a defence and geopolitical lens, outlining the urgent need for Canada to invest in Arctic sovereignty, critical minerals strategy, and military infrastructure. They discuss China’s expanding presence in northern waters, Russia’s submarine activities, and the international debate over control of the Northwest Passage and what it all means for Canada’s future.
