The more likely disastrous scenario is Russia repeatedly "tests" Canada's borders, and Trump or an equally idiot successor decides this is an opportunity to re-negociate trade agreements while the mission planning server in the US suffers from an inexplicable temporary outage.

As for training, Ukraine proves every day a jet's pilots, mechs, etc. can definitely be re-trained and operate in a high intensity war.

Will absolutely never happen. Russia has no reason to ever exploit resources in Canadian waters/territory without our permission. There is an international treaty against exploitation of any arctic resources even in own waters, but US will ignore and so no one will say shit about any of it, when exploiting own territory.

So ridiculously absurd. There are absurd propaganda headlines that get published fairly often, but even those articles are complete nothing burgers with actual accusations. Yes, Russia and Chinese ships are in Arctic. That doesn't mean they are anywhere close to Canadian waters. For Russia to "have already been" to Canadian territory to exploit resources, they would need a reason to travel that far and return. Even fishing which doesn't require any investment once they are here, wouldn't make sense as long as Russian waters have fish. The US is the one that would steal our fish. A mine or oil well is gigantic investment that needs permission/alliance to invest in, because of the high risk of confiscation.
