Canada has serious ports that are, well, kinda up-north-ish. In order to get ships in to those ports, which include some significant manufacturing and other supplies, one must use a kind of ship called an icebreaker.

Icebreakers are, basically, a big-assed razorblade at the prow, and big-assed engines at the stern.

Being an icebreaker captain is one of the most stressful jobs you can imagine.
