RE:RE:Manitoba could become Europe's not-so-secret weapon against What do you do in winter , The port only works from June to November,shallow waters and you will have Greenies on your asssss again accusing us of destroying pristine Arctic,whereas in regular times they wont even sit on the regular smelly train to Churchill . Its a huge cost to emply icebreakers and not sure how the returns would work out.

In theory it's true, especially the good for the country nation building rhetoric. Building a road or rail line is technically very challenging across 100kms of muskeg,lakes,rivers,wilderness to get to Churchill. The rail line was destroyed by weather nature. A similar fate for a pipeline would be disastrous. Opposition from the left, FN, American funded lobbyists and blockade protesters would mean huge huge delays and cost overruns if it ever happens. See transmountain to west coast. No, the answer/solution to shipping oil to Europe already exists or can be accomplished with relatively little upgrade to existing pipelines to Quebec. So frustrating nobody will be the adult in the room and do the right thing and just get it done.
