Seizing on how? This smells like alarmist bullshit to fuel defense arguments for the USA to make more demands like needing to take Greenland and more defense spending from Canada.

Russia is busy twisting the US’ arm on Ukraine negotiations and China is more interested in filling the gap left by the USA meltdown as a power broker in the global stage, their threat is more like election interference than military. Our biggest territorial threat right now is the fucking USA, the country that half the population might eat up this headline as just cause for threatening allies sovereignty.

The Russian leader has backed Mr Trump’s annexation of Greenland, implying the president’s dreams of Arctic expansion are a mirror of his own claims on Ukraine. Moscow could soon work with Washington on joint projects in the region, said his aides, raising the prospect of a great power carve-up.

This is the fucking threat, and it comes from the other border, not the Arctic. Canada might be the next Poland if that orange bastard continues this bizarre trend. Or maybe just like Ukraine…

The threat is from Russia and the USA simultaneously, and it will not be surprising if they cooperate in an attack on Canada.

Your comment reminds me of something I was thinking this morning, which is that the US is becoming a lot like Russia. Military power. Keen to invade other countries and flout international law. Oligarchs run everything. Everyday people becoming poorer and less powerful. Country is increasingly detested by other nations and their populaces

Ironically the Canadian government used to train the Chinese military on winter survival as recently as 2018.

Go ahead and read about it on the official government website.

Can't trust any of them. They're up to something and you're paying for it.

Smells like propaganda
