    I’m all for it, but we’re gonna need some better rail lines heading up there and maybe an all-season road or two to go with it. Right now the options are pretty limited… one railway line or flying.

      Yah, that’s tough country to build and maintain roads on. You’d sure want to know you had the traffic to justify it. Overall, I’d prefer to see a return rail-line, and containers than having a pile of trucks going back and forth.

        Definately. Rail can transport so much more and for cheaper than trucks can, way more efficient at it. And Manitoba is far flatter than northern Ontario, this is our time to really put our money where our mouth is and build our infrastructure for the next century +
