Good Stewardship at the Top of the World: the Canadian Way

The Ekos study reports that Canadians both north and south see environmental security and social security as key elements in protecting the Canadian Arctic. National security, while still seen as important, does not seem to be a leading priority. Nevertheless, Canadians from all regions say that the Arctic should be the primary focus of Canada's military and foreign policy. Therefore, while Arctic security is an issue that respondents believe needs to be addressed, they do not want it to be done at the expense of these other priorities.
