"this claim is not recognized by other countries, particularly the United States."
Cite please? Also, is the US special in this regard in a way that justifies its particularity? - user:Montrealais
I've found no references for either Canada extending its territorial claims to the North Pole, or for any dispute. In practice there is no land at the North Pole, so no country can claim it. Nobody seems to dispute ownership of what land there is since Greenland and Canada settled their boundaries.

Some countries claim large undersea areas based on the continental shelf extending from their territories -- Russia from Siberia to the North Pole and Denmark/Greenland from Greenland to the North Pole. On Denmark's claim, See "Threats to Canadian Arctic Sovereignty" the article http://www.sfu.ca/casr/id-arcticviking1.htm
Also, how can the EU oppose the territorial claims of one of its members (Denmark)? QuartierLatin 1968 20:35, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Well, Greenland is not part of the EU, although it is a territory of Denmark which Denmark represents internationally. This may explain the apparent contradiction. 212.139.96.107 19:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
The result of the debate was move, let's be bold on this; I think the arguments for the move are good and valid. — Nightst a llion (?) 08:13, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Canadian Arctic → Northern Canada – The proposed article name is consistent with other Canadian regional article names in Wp, is somewhat more accurate yet inclusive, and is the more prevalent term online. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 19:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
In a strict sense, Canadian Arctic can refer to the portion of
Canada north of the
Arctic Circle; Northern Canada is more inclusive, not merely political, and consistent with other similar titles in Wp. The proposed title is also used
throughout the Atlas of Canada and in the Canadian Oxford World Atlas. Moreover,
there are more than 900 000 online hits for the proposed title, as opposed to some
700 000 for the current one.
As for other terms,
the North is a frequently reckoned term analogous to the proposed title, as is
the Far North to describe territory north of the Arctic Circle (the Canadian Arctic proper), but the
definite article in the title might be problematic and rather ambiguous. Canadian North is another term, but is not used as frequently online as the others in a Canadian context.

Is there any way to expand this article to include Nord-du-Québec, which is Northern Canada but on the other side of Hudson Bay? Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 15:13, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
"For hundreds of years, this area had been considered the largest 'uncivilized' area in the world."
What about Antarctica? Brutannica ( talk) 04:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
"The population density for Northern Canada is 0.03 inhabitants per square kilometre (0.078 /sq mi) (0.06 /km2 (0.16 /sq mi) for Yukon, 0.03 /km2 (0.078 /sq mi) for the NWT and 0.01 /km2 (0.026 /sq mi) for Nunavut) compared to 3.5 /km2 (9.1 /sq mi) for Canada and 105.09 /km2 (272.2 /sq mi) for Western Europe" Whoever wrote that should define what he or she considers to be Western Europe and where the numbers for Europe come from. Especially with the extension of the EU in the '00s it isn't really clear what counts as Western, Central, Northern, Eastern etc. Europe. Is Poland a part of Western Europe? And Hungary? Thank you! Edit: Maybe link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Europe if that is what was meant, so people know what is being talked about?
I notice that "Arctic Canada" redirects to this article. Since that's the case, should we consider what the Royal Canadian Geographical Society considers to be "arctic"? http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/wildlife-nature/?path=english/ecozones-list 99.232.29.75 ( talk) 08:14, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I noticed that the demographic definition is missing a photo. Would this photo suffice? https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/190704/mc-a001-eng.htm It is published by Statistics Canada, which is part of the Government of Canada, so there shouldn't be a problem with copyright/fair use.
