First let me ask....what arctic experience do you have?
Aside from what you learned on the internets.
I can tell you have never been there just as anyone else who has been there could.
Ice melts by the end of june,reforms end of september like clockwork.
I dont need graphs,I used to do ice profiles,that was enough.
Couple of seismic seasons.
Been there done that, D7G pulling a power-shack, kitchen, washroom/sleeper for a total of three 72ft trailers mounted on a bob-sled style skies. I was the cutter so I pulled the fuel-sloop which was 8 x 500 gallon barrels.
Went west from Norman Wells for a day and a bit and then turned north through a pass, some months later is was back down the same pass but it was bare so you had to which the sleighs down the south -facing
Since we used lakes for renewing supplies we waited till the lakes had 4ft of ice on them, if we were careful to come ashore real slowly we could travel at full speed over most of the lake.
People are still happy to see even a stranger but they are learning not everybody deserves that sort of greeting.
Not that I have a point to prove but is that the sort of 'stuff' that would make it easy to 'decide'?
Because they like too refer to themselves as the territories.
And in a lot of camps and villages near the arctic circle you will see the territorial Nunavut flag flying over top of the Canadian flag.
How would that go over down here, I'm all for worthwhile changes. Keeping firewater away from the whole area would be a worthwhile move as they do not do well with addictive substances, I'll bet that has gotten worse over the last 20 years rather than better (for them). I'll bet AV gas is what most skidoos run on so does that still gaive the same buzz for the kids that leaded gas did? Pop starts should be able to pick the year that started, suicide spiked big time.
