Commuting to work in a CCG uniform, means being asked what the bus schedule is, because you look like a bus driver. For Structure we had Red Crew and White Crew, SAR stations vs Buoy Tenders. Relations between fulltime crew and auxiliary used to be good, but damaged out west by the auxiliary management offering to take over fulltime SAR station jobs.

They're probably more concerned about how their Union Agreements will be honoured by the CAF...

Is the Arctic a theatre of interest and does Canada have a dog in the fight?

The RCN is getting the RCD's and the JSS. Other than the subs, fixing retention, training issues and building up war stocks, there is not much more the government can do there. For the RCAF, they have a fighter selected, just need to get on with it and the supporting infrastructure.
The army on the other hand is total unprepared for a peer to peer conflict and needs massive investments, top to bottom to make it a competent fighting force.
Plenty to left to do with HALE/MALE UAS, USVs, space based ISR, polar comms, OTH radars, etc. This list alone is about $30B.
Near peer land warfare is a little more optional for Canada, vs securing our actual homeland.

In fairness we should be able to rapidly deploy 2 or 3 light battlegroups within Canada and still have a useful division at the ready to deal with the unexpected.
If some portion of the force is on expedition learning how to manage the unexpected then so much the better.
And we need a well prepared security force to manage threats to bases and infrastructure in the face of elevated hybrid threats.
