About this listen

Canada is looking north. In this season premiere of The Arctic Edge, host Hannah Thibedeau sets the stage for a season of conversations about what it takes to build a strong, sovereign, and thriving Arctic. Decades of underinvestment in northern infrastructure, combined with renewed global interest in the Arctic, have made this moment both urgent and full of opportunity.

Through conversations with Nunavut Premier John Main, Arctic business leader Harry Flaherty, Canadian Ranger Jim Welsh, and former Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai, we explore a pivotal moment in Canada's relationship with its North, where federal attention, historic investment, and Inuit leadership are aligning to protect Arctic sovereignty. Premier Main's vision is clear: a Nunavut defined not by its challenges, but by the strength of its communities, its culture, and its people. There is a momentum for the North and for partnerships to be built. This is a story of a region ready to seize a defining moment to shape its future.
