Its not a bad idea.
Canada needs more Northern Infrastructure.
A Oil & Gas hub with Naval Marine capabilities sounds like a Nation Building Project if I ever heard one.

Seems like the messaging for Fort Nelson or Churchill ports is always all over the place.
How many months a year is it even usable?
By passes Eastern Canada, develops the north, reconciliation, shorter distance, ect. On paper it seems like a good idea but it seems like no one takes it seriously.

Are we just drawing nice lines on maps? I can do that too. Why not go a little (just a few 100 km) further south and aim for James Bay. This would provide access close to the Ring of Fire in Ontario. But I have no idea of the timescales, cost, environmental impact, indigenous concerns etc. Does anyone? Either way we are talking 1,500-2,000 kms vs 4,000 for Energy East. Not small numbers.

Does anybody have a handle on the costs of burying a pipeline across thawing permafrost in muskeg across much of the way to Churchill in northern Manitoba? If the tube is for oil, it would need to be underground and kept warm enough, which seems antithetical in a permafrost terrain. Refined product, or gas maybe not so much.

I really hate this framing. Kinew isn’t angry or anything. He’s just following up on proposals that Carney made during the leadership and election.
