    But don't you see, their police say "please" and "thank you" when they shove the barrel of an AR-15 in the face of an indigenous protestor.

        Basically because it's cheaper for the US to have a buffer state occupy the vast and sparsely populated barely economical tundra than to maintain and govern the territories themselves is my pet theory. Sure there's all that colonial history and all that but that never stopped the US from just taking what they want before, and besides Canada is already several resource extraction companies dressed up to look like a vassal state to the US so they get what they want AND don't have to foot the bill

    What does unceded territory mean? Is that the Canadian equivalent to a reservation?

      Canada has reservations, but those are covered by treaties signed hundreds of years ago.

      Unceded land means land that was never actually signed away so it's not even legally justified occupation.
