Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is proposing Canada deepen collaboration with the United States on Arctic security by establishing a joint military base in the far north. In a statement Thursday, Ms. Smith said she raised this idea with fellow premiers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at their meeting earlier this week.
