摘要
This article intends to compare the political narratives on the Canadian Artic produced by the governments of Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper (2006-2015) and Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (2015-2023), with a specific focus on the identity dimension of these two sets of political narratives. Harper's Arctic narrative, served by a unique personal commitment of the PM, promoted a radical shift from the historic Canada centred on the Laurentian region to a new Arctic Canada and in so doing, created a new political geography of Canada. In Justin Trudeau's Arctic narrative, priority was given to reconciliation through the development of state-to-state relations with Indigenous communities. Embodied by the person of Governor General Mary Simon and concretized by the cooperative approach of Trudeau's Arctic and Northern Framework, this new agentivity of Northern Indigenous peoples has ushered in a new decolonial geography of the Arctic. Unexpectedly, these successive official narratives of Arctic Canada have proven complementary in striving to move the center of gravity of the country north, thus creating new perspectives on Canadian identity and political geography. Cet article entend comparer le discours politique sur l'Arctique canadien produits par les gouvernements du premier ministre conservateur Stephen Harper (2006-2015) et du premier ministre lib & eacute;ral Justin Trudeau (2015-2023), avec un accent particulier sur la dimension identitaire de ces deux ensembles de r & eacute;cits politiques. Le discours de Stephen Harper sur l'Arctique, exprim & eacute; via un engagement personnel unique du Premier ministre, a promu un changement radical du Canada historique centr & eacute; sur la r & eacute;gion laurentienne vers un nouveau Canada arctique et, ce faisant, a cr & eacute;& eacute; une nouvelle g & eacute;ographie politique du Canada. Dans le discours de Justin Trudeau sur l'Arctique, la priorit & eacute; a & eacute;t & eacute; accord & eacute;e & agrave; la r & eacute;conciliation via le d & eacute;veloppement de relations d'& Eacute;tat & agrave; & Eacute;tat avec les communaut & eacute;s autochtones. Incarn & eacute;e par la personne de la gouverneure g & eacute;n & eacute;rale Mary Simon et concr & eacute;tis & eacute;e par l'approche coop & eacute;rative du Cadre strat & eacute;gique pour l'Arctique et le Nord de Trudeau, cette nouvelle agentivit & eacute; des peuples autochtones du Nord marque le d & eacute;but d'une nouvelle g & eacute;ographie d & eacute;coloniale de l'Arctique. De mani & egrave;re inattendue, ces discours officiels successifs sur l'Arctique canadien se sont r & eacute;v & eacute;l & eacute;s compl & eacute;mentaires dans leur effort pour d & eacute;placer le centre de gravit & eacute; du pays vers le Nord, cr & eacute;ant ainsi de nouvelles perspectives sur l'identit & eacute; et la g & eacute;ographie politique du Canada.
