The opening of a Canadian naval refuelling facility in the Arctic scheduled for later this year now appears to be in limbo.
The Nanisivik Naval Facility was announced in 2007 by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper as a new docking and refuelling installation that would support Royal Canadian Navy ships in Arctic operations. It was envisioned as operating year-round with a deep water port and airstrip to boost Canadian sovereignty in the region.
WTF??
