The port of Churchill, Man., could supply our allies in Europe with Canadian energy to free them from reliance on the Russian oil that fuels Putin\u0027s war machine
Ice melts are earlier, meaning that Hudson Bay is ice-free for most of the year. During those months in which there is ice, the ice is not as thick as in the Arctic proper, making it easier for icebreakers to create year-round paths.
The financial and geo-political returns coming from private/public partnership justify a significant investment. This could represent a nation-building project that would bring together the energy-exporting provinces alongside Manitoba, First Nations communities , and the federal government, all toward serving the needs of our international allies. The sensitivities in British Columbia and Quebec would be respected, thus reducing the risks of delays or blowback.
This ambitious project would inspire Canadians and strengthen the bonds of federalism. We must make clear that getting products like Canadian LNG to international markets will reduce global emissions by offsetting dirtier producers like Russia and dirtier products such as coal. With a stronger economy we would be better placed to invest in research, development and green technologies. Much of the infrastructure created in Churchill could be used as Canada becomes a global leader in hydrogen, rare earth and uranium exports that will be necessary to power a transition away from fossil fuels through continued development of hydro, wind, solar, wave, nuclear, waste to energy, carbon capture and others.
