Episode Details

Prime Minister Mark Carney makes a historic trip to Kuujjuaq, the largest community in Nunavik, marking the first such visit in nearly two decades — a pivotal moment to ensure Inuit communities reap real benefits from Canada’s massive northern military investments. Inuit leaders are demanding urgent action: better gear for the Canadian Rangers, upgraded airstrips, and a new Inuit-led university with national campuses — even hinting at seeking international partners if Canada doesn’t step up. Beyond defense, critical issues like skyrocketing grocery prices, a housing crisis requiring up to a thousand homes, and rising tuberculosis rates — despite a 2030 eradication goal — demand immediate, coordinated federal action. This visit isn’t just about military presence — it’s about justice, equity, and survival for Inuit people.
