I didn't make it clear that the post was in reference to a deep water port on Hudson Bay. Maybe not the best thread to put it in.
One thing for sure is there is lots of development to come for the north.
The same problem exists today that did in the past. Muskeg. The rail line sucks. Once upon a time shipping grain to Churchill required very very very expensive aluminum rail hoppers cars. And that was dead of winter with frozen ground. Potash is denser than wheat. A lot denser.
I know it is expensive, but how about putting the rail line on pilings like rapid transit?
The line was built on log piles and corduroy. Its a long way to bedrock. Moving water and flooding is also problematic.
Hudson Bay Rail never put in the preventative maintenance that was required and eventually what was left from CN got swallowed up.
Port Nelson is new to me and further south so maybe picking that site has something to do with the geology.
The end of the consumer carbon price at the start of April drove inflation down sharply, Statistics Canada said Tuesday, but there were signs of pressure building at the grocery store.
Weird…when we were told it cost us so little & many/most/whatever got back more than they paid out?
Statistics Canada said gas prices fell 18.1 per cent year-over-year in April, thanks mostly to the end of the carbon price, but also because global oil prices fell amid declining demand and higher production from OPEC countries. Natural gas prices also fell 14.1 per cent annually in the month.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe on Wednesday that the Canada Revenue Agency is “very, very good” at getting the money it’s owed??
“Premier Moe has decided that he doesn’t want to pay the money to the CRA that he is owing. We’re not going to penalize the people of Saskatchewan or in any jurisdiction for that because we have faith in CRA … to collect the money that is owed,” Trudeau said.
“I don’t know about you, but having an argument with CRA about not wanting to pay your taxes is not a position I want anyone to be in. Good luck with that, Premier Moe.”
Aren’t the carbon tax “rebates” for those that actually see them, trailing the payment into the government by at least 18 months or more? You know what else is about 18 months away? October 20th…sorry, October 27th, 2025 now.

The Canada Revenue Agency is going to audit Saskatchewan for not paying carbon levies on home heating, Premier Scott Moe said Monday.
Moe said the agency has indicated it will look at Saskatchewan’s books to see how much the province owes in levies that weren’t paid to Ottawa.
“They will ask if they can look at the submissions we’ve made and for us to submit money they estimate may be owed,” he told reporters.
“We don’t believe there’s any dollars that are owed.”
The Saskatchewan Party government decided earlier this year to not remit the federal carbon price on natural gas, a move that breaks federal law.
Moe invoked the measure after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exempted users of home heating oil from having to pay the levy in a move largely seen as politically motivated to boost Liberal support in Atlantic Canada.
The Canada Revenue Agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trudeau said last week the agency is “very, very good” at getting money owed and wished Moe “good luck” in dealing with the agency??

If I didn’t know better, I would almost think that sounds like a threat? Hmmmm….& who’s the target audience for this story in the Montreal Gazette? Hmmm…
“I’m worried that despite a new telephony system and other improvements, Canadians still wait too long to get incorrect answers to their questions on tax,” Hogan told MPs on the Commons public accounts committee.
CRA call centres gave auditors wrong information as often as 83 per cent of the time: AG — National Post
Enquiries about general benefits or business taxes fared only slightly better
But call centre employees largely don’t have to fret about losing their job if they provide inaccurate information to taxpayers. That’s because the audit discovered that only 10 per cent of their performance review is related to accuracy.
