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.

LILLEY: Liberals lied on the carbon tax, according to Statistics Canada data — Toronto Sun

When the House of Commons was last sitting in December — some five months ago — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre raised the issue of the carbon tax and inflation. Then Liberal prime minister Justin Trudeau called Poilievre’s statements “absolute nonsense” and dismissed the idea that the...

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….

Well, the “free” heat pump would work well for AC part of the year. Could you do it on a small scale as a supplement to your natural gas furnace in order to qualify for the “free” heat pump (?) and still not void your home owners insurance by not having a supplemental heat source beyond the heat pump itself (by still having your natural gas furnace & supply) when you get rid of the heating oil supplemental system?

The Greater Toronto Area has had many extreme heat warnings this summer and for those without air conditioning, its been very difficult to beat the heat.

Well, glass 1/2 full, at least this couple isn’t trying to heat their home on the Canadian Prairies with that thing, & still do have a furnace, & now an AC unit I guess.
