Perfect. Carney is going to say no and save Ford and the rest of us from this stupidity.
I'm OK with the nuclear power generation and GO Train expansion. On paper, at least.
What's wrong with a deep sea port in James Bay? Isn't that whole region about to have increased marine usage?
I don't really know anything on the topic. Other than we shouldn't increase use of that corridor, is there something else?
There's already rail there, but I imagine the existing system would be woefully inadequate...
It could be the spurring point for more resource extraction in the north which could lead to jobs and exports but always comes with environmental destruction regardless of the economic impact and continues Canada's dependancy on a resource extraction economy.
Ya I can see that happening pretty easily beyond just being a port.
Make a new port, improve the rail system, and suddenly it's a much better target for resource extraction over the entire area.
