    The A2A line would transport oil, as well as grain, ore, and other containerized goods.

    Our twat is too busy destroying a nation, nation building is a thing of the past in Canada.

    God I wish we could get rid of that Trudeau Government cancer.

      Because the rail lines are so prompt and helpful now.

      There’s currently a shortage of cars of all sorts, as well as engines to pull them. Short line tracks are constantly being decommissioned due to this lack of equipment and inability to upkeep the tracks.

      But you think if we just stick a line from somewhere in Alberta to an Alaskan port it will magically be wonderful? Trump would have to pull stuff out of his butt for that to be true.

        Every farm should run with the bare minimum equipment, only one tractor, etc.

        See how efficient we become.

        We have Railway crossings we can barely drive across....suppose that's our fault too. Right of ways that were sterilized now nothing but Canada thistles, absinthe and everything else but grass growing.

        FÚCKING STUPID.

        Zero pride.

          Which begs the question again in a wide spaced country like ours why is there not more investment in rail? Oh ya if we do that we wouldn’t need the pipe line which has become more about pride to get it than practicality.

            Canada will neve grow without better rail networks....the fact the rail lines were tore out without a comprehensive study of changing farming practices is a history lesson we should learn from...


            To ignore the economics if rail in this country like we have under all parties is an embarrassment and nothing to take pride in...

            A country can not grow without it. .unless Toronto is a country upon itself

              Uhh its a Canadian company as the sponsor blaithin. Trump isnt building it. The economics were done 15 yrs ago.

              Why would you disparage a connection to the greater trading world?

                  We need all modes of transport and export infrastructure. Rail, ports, pipelines, highways, airports, comm networks, elec lines.

                  What we dont need is sustainable bike paths and green energy scams.

                    The CWB probably had more to do with the shortline abandonment than anything else. If you have restricted grain movement and apportioned sales, obviously something has to give.

                      Actually the wheat board helped keep smaller lines running to accept grain from smaller elevators. It’s all run by the elevator companies now who don’t give a dam about small towns

                        Local Richardson, not.on my home town rail line, donated something like $15,000 to my community's rink.

                          I only disparage your blind devotion to Trump. I have nothing against an additional rail line, however you do seem to have unrealistically high expectations of how it might improve things in Canada.

                          Looking at the current state of rail lines and companies within the country, while this has potential, it’s hardly world altering.

                          Also, just in case you failed to notice, we are already connected to the greater trading world. This line wouldn’t give us access to anything new. Or perhaps you think access to a port that isn’t even in the country will be much easier and more beneficial than using ports within the country. This could be a trial run for Wexiteers to see what exporting to a port would really entail.

                            "Move to the city Mr Farmer, we bought the Hyatt, you can stay there, safe injection site is on the same block, might be some protests on the way to get high but don't mind them, they are mostly peaceful, we have it all in utopia, you'll even get $2000/month". If this doesn't create an exodus to the suburbs like Rome, nothing will.

                              Please point out any other major export infrastructure projects close to being realized in this country?

                              Its world altering for this country and yes having any choice in marketing is always a positive. I dont think any one involved in export activities would say less places to offshore our resources is better. You saw what happened when last winter when activist blocked the few locations we had. They wont be blocking anything in Alaska. Port workers wont be striking either.

                              And maybe the greenies in lower mainland BC might notice when their port revenues start dwindling.

                              A full 20% of our GDP is in the ag, mining, forestry and energy sectors and related activities and this project gives those resources a big boost.
