    My theory:

    Panama controls a major trade route and charges shitloads of money for each ship that passes.

    Same reason for Canada. The North-West Passage is melting and will be open year round in the not too distant future.

    The same makes sense for Greenland if you consider Russia as a trade partner with lots of raw metals. Plus Greenland itself may have oil. Again, this when the ice melts completely.
