  • Most of the story in Canadian Assassin takes place in the Canadian Arctic, which has a size of 1.424 million km² and covers about 39 percent of Canada but is very scarcely populated, with only about 120,000 people out of nearly 35 million Canadians.

  • The Canadian Arctic is perhaps the best place on the earth to see the northern lights like the ones in the picture below. I’ve visited Yellowknife, and that’s one of the best destinations for this experience. A lot of wildlife can also be enjoyed in the Arctic, including polar bears, walruses, caribou, moose, beluga whales, foxes, and wolves).

  • The Arctic has drawn a lot of attention because of its riches. It is estimated to have as much as $35 trillion worth of untapped oil and natural gas (or between 1/5 to 1/4 of the world’s unused resources), along with many kinds of minerals, like gold, silver, diamonds, copper, titanium, and uranium. In fact, a few years ago, one of my friends used to work up in Diavik, one of the diamond mines near the Arctic Circle.

  • Russia’s interest in the Arctic is clear in the words of its President, Mr. Putin, who recently noted the need for military and security agencies to “implement their plans to protect national interests, our defense capability, and protection of our interests in the Arctic.”
  • A Seahawk helicopter plays the main role in one of the battles in Canadian Assassin

    and thankfully, it is Carrie in the cockpit’s pilot seat. Seahawks can be equipped with AGM-114 Hellfire anti-surface missiles (Carrie gets to fire two of them) and a wide range of other weapons. In short, it is a perfect combat helicopter.
