“Why not a career as a hunter gatherer engineer?”

Sheila Watt-Cloutier actually asks that immortal question here.

From that article:

“Instead of seeing the Northwest Passage as an opportunity, we must recognize that an ice-free passage is an environmental disaster,” she said. For Canada it will mean a build up of our armed forces and a potential conflict with other Arctic nations.

Note that this "environmental disaster" evidently also occurred in years like 1906, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1944, 1957, 1969, 1977, 1984, 1988, 2000, etc etc.
