| | McKeand, Major David L., The Eastern Arctic Patrol |
| | The enforcement of law and order is the responsibility of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and detachments have been established at strategic points throughout the Territories. | | | Sometimes I am asked, "Do you ever run across so-andso in the North?" Usually the name is unfamiliar and I am told, "He is somewhere in the Northwest Territories." After further questioning I find he is in Northern Ontario or some other Province or in Yukon Territory-anywhere in Canada but the Northwest Territories. | | | Any reference to the Northwest Territories usually brings to mind a picture of a bleak barren country with a midnight sun in summer and northern lights in winter, inhabited by Eskimos and overrun with polar bears, white foxes and Arctic owls. |

| | Prospects for Soviet-Canadian Co-operation in the Development of Northern Regions |
| | The natural and climatic conditions of the Canadian North and the structural distinctions of its resource potential are strikingly similar to those in the Soviet Union (and include as important a factor as the distances between the South and the northern territories under development). | | | Finally, the place of the Canadian North in the country's economic system and in the structure of Canada's modem economic links resembles to a much greater extent the place of the Soviet North in the Soviet economic system than that of Alaska in the United States, Greenland in Denmark, or the northern territories in Scandinavia. | | | In addition, the principal direction of economic activity in the Canadian North is very similar to that of the Soviet North, although somewhat smaller in scope: large-scale development of mineral, oil, and gas resources; construction of railways, highways, and pipelines; exploration of the arctic shelf and sea-lanes; and town planning in permafrost conditions. |
