Curious - novice question here. How does the ice in Hudson Bay/James Bay compare to the ice on Lake Superior? When does the ice start in both places, when does it end, how thick does it get in both places? Does the entire length of the Hudson Strait ice up?

I'd be willing to bet that on March 7 Lake Superior is still pretty much 85+% ice covered.View attachment 93585

The polar bears of Southern Hudson Bay are spending a record amount of time off the sea ice this year. What does this mean for them?polarbearsinternational.org

Perhaps, but currently it is 'community' (singular) for Manitoba. Although nothing is etched in stone, the federal government's responsibilities to its territories are different than that of its provinces.
No answers, and no clue how fresh water ice differs from salt water ice, but Lake Superior seldom freezes completely. The Seaway closes for a couple of months each winter primarily because of ice in the locks/straits/narrows/harbours of the system.

I noticed that the Throne speech pageantry was very careful to engage a national voice from each of the Inuit, "First Nations" and Metis. Even had the quintessential Canadian - a Red River Metis fiddler. Morgan Grace Music

And Wab is looking at two ports, Churchill and Port Nelson - two more communities.
We are already shipping via ice-breaking freighters from Nanisivik/Pond Inlet, Deception Bay and Voisey Bay as well as by conventional freighters that come as far south as Churchill on charters.
If I was Wab I would be asking for equivalent services. I am guessing he would have backing.

You have raised the issue of harbours needing dredging.
Apparently Canada needs houses. Houses are built on sand and aggregate.

People wrongly assume FNs are a unified bloc. Regional, provincial and national bodies are simply lobby groups.
