I’m hardly any defence expert but pending a threat assessment by intruders perhaps the following would occur. Say western reaches, Alaska, US fighters deploy backstopped by CF18’s from Cold Lake. Western Canadian Arctic, our CF18’ backstopped by US Alaska, Eastern Canadian Arctic CF18’s from Bagotville, backstopped by USANG in the northeastern US.
Of course we have limited fighter numbers and older (although much updated) aircraft which are planned for replacement but not nearly soon enough.
Yes, much better late than never with regard to OTH. Let’s say the US, in its misguided belief in annexing Greenland goes ahead with this. That certainly would imperil the existence of NORAD. And continental mutual defence.

Ok but my question remains. How would we follow up on any detection?
Over the horizon radar so we can ask the Americans to conduct an intercept for us sooner?
Already purchased (from the Australians), next step is installation!
