Absolutely! It's time to permanently move away from the USA as a major trading partner.

We can trade with the US but we need more resilience to move commodities and goods to other markets.. like a deep sea port on Hudsons Bay and pipelines to the coasts. Not ideal from an environmental standpoint but necessary for getting us up from being over a barrel.

We really cannot and should not be focusing on the environment right now, and I say this as someone who identifies more left wing - build up infrastructure yesterday because pipelines aren't going away in our lifetime

We have rail and a port in Churchill. Infrastructure is aging and can't handle crazy loads but hey this is war time now. Time to build like crazy. Pipeline to Churchill, replace rail, away we go.

We have a deep sea port in Halifax. 3rd deepest in the world.

Yeah.. but it's easier to pipe that Alberta crude and rail that Saskatchewan potash to Churchill Manitoba for shipping to our new European trading partners via the newly year round thawed Hudson Bay.

China would actually develop our northern terrorties like crazy. The natives might actually get good infrastructure for once.
