Pipelines, energy and natural resources

While we wait for pipelines, I foresee quite a few railcars crossing the border going south to refineries full of oil.

Canada has some of the best managed, most efficient railways in the world, apparently.

Must have something to do with 99% of their services being connected to commodities vs. passengers

Preferred construction partner selected for Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project​

Vancouver B.C.: The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has selected TerraMarine as the preferred proponent for the landmass and wharf component of the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project, marking an important milestone in delivering a nation-building project that directly supports Prime Minister Mark Carney’s goal of doubling Canadian exports to non-U.S. markets over the next decade. The project will support a more resilient and reliable supply chain, and help move more of what Canadians make, mine, harvest, and grow to more customers around the world.

Roberts Bank Terminal 2 is a future marine container terminal at the Port of Vancouver that will increase container capacity on Canada’s west coast by more than 30%, unlocking more than $100 billion in annual trade capacity, contributing over $3 billion annually to Canada’s GDP, and supporting tens of thousands of jobs.
The selection follows a competitive procurement process, with TerraMarine identified as the preferred proponent, subject to finalization of contraction negotiations with the port authority.
