Something that should have been done long ago and knowing it will be fully backed by the province.

“A group of 11 First Nations in Manitoba plans to build an additional industrial terminal nearby at Port Nelson to ship liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe and potash to Brazil.” -

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.
The Statistics Canada data proves one thing: the Liberal claim that their carbon tax wasn’t making your life more expensive was never true, and neither were the rest of their carbon tax claims.
Of course, he ignored several reports, including from the Parliamentary Budget Officer, that when the total cumulative effect of the carbon tax was taken into account, most families were paying more – far more – than they did without the tax, even when accounting for rebates. So, too, did the Liberals ignore the compounding impact of a carbon price being added to supply chains when it came to the final price, but Shhhhh….🤫
