I'm OK with the nuclear power generation and GO Train expansion. On paper, at least.
Those things are great, but does that make bypassing environmental and municipal laws a good idea?
Yeah, both of those. Failing one, I'd vote for GO expansion. Nuclear expansion is more straightforward in terms of funding. ๐
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.
