The solution is ....drumroll please.....

Churchill could have been the goto shipping port but Easterners own the lakers in the St. Lawrence. capeesh?

Part of the problem for sure.

CNR did not help get grain efficiently by essentially letting a line or two go to hell through a lack of maintenance as well......which coincidentally has its HQ in Montreal, Quebec.

I think the 100's of millions of dollars of rail overage paid to farmers that is going to be used on research to help us create a bigger infrastructure/transportation demand and dump it into the rail line. Any income goes back to rail and port maintenance. Or is this making too much sense?

On the old days not only would they haul grain to Churchill they would haul it from Churchill to fill an order.

The Kewatin Tribal Council has offered to completely repair the line to Churchill. They have the knowhow and experience as they already own the Keewatin Railway and have for sometime. All it takes is for someone to give the OK and pay the cost. I doubt if any other company can do it as well, as quickly and as economically.

Indian time is twice as long as white man time and three time as expensive.

Keewatin tribe
could definitely fix the line, and cost effectively. Omnitrax just wants a government handout.

You can blame Omnitrax. After all, Merv Tweed is President and he's not qualified . . . For anything.

The solution is, hovercrafts. All seasons. All terrain.

U could run that Port from July1 to end of November if they wanted but like was said earlier the votes come from out east. Same old story. Not whats right for the people who could use it but only right for the people that get elected.

Maybe a populous country with a huge military budget wouldve put a nuclear sub base there in the 50s.
