Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

Hudson Bay will be a very interesting place. With the Northwest passage opening up, that opens up markets in both Asia and Europe.
I think at least Ontario and Manitoba have governments that're switched on enough, in their own ways, to make something of it.

Less sure of Québec and Nunavut.
I wonder if Carney was able to convince BC…
A twinned line might be sellable.

Why does Quebec matter and Nunavut isn't big enough to matter.
 
For Hudson Bay? Neighbouring provinces and territories who could theoretically do something with improved ocean access.
Ah. I thought you meant on pipeline development to Churchill.

I guess Quebec could use Hudson bay for quicker transit to Asia, but their economy is very much centered around the st Lawrence river, so I don't know if they have it in them to look north in that capacity.

Legault, for as long as he is around, is talking about expanding hydroelectric power generation and battery plants.

With less than one year to go before the provincial election, the economic vision for Quebec that Legault presented Monday was largely a rehash of measures already put forward by his government.

He touted Hydro-Québec's already announced plan to invest $200 billion between now and 2035 to increase the public utility's energy capacity, a project he said will help the province weather the pain from tariffs imposed by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Alberta and Saskatchewan need tidewater and Manitoba wants to develop their north, natural bedfellows. And all three already want this project to happen.

And from a Canadian strategic view, it strengthens our claim in the north that the northwest passage are internal waters, not a international straight.

So 4/4 on board.

Ontario and Quebec having other options via the St Lawrence will likely continue to neglect their northern waterway.

Minimally, access to the South that's less seasonal and not dependent on what I understand to be a fairly limited road and rail network for all of the communities along that coast wouldn't hurt, and might make extraction (and local processing) of whatever resources are there feasible.
 
Smith has been very quiet as of late. Maybe because of the Alberta stuff going on, or perhaps we might actually be getting a pipe.
Hmmmmmmmm, as of writing this, I think it's doubtful... (within the next year or so anyway)

Between BC's ban on tankers off their coast & premier Eby's extremely blunt and steadfast refusal to even discuss possibilities, I don't think we're getting a new pipeline going that way anytime soon.


...


We would probably have better luck getting a pipeline down south & then over to the coast.

I know that means shipping our oil via the US, but our provincial neighbour to the west seems to drink from the same Kool-Aid fountain as Ottawa does... (Re from a provincial government perspective, they suck)

You can tell them it is happening whether they like it or not. Either work with us or we shall use disavowal and make it happen without any say from you. There is options, just how nuclear does the government want to go?
