🇨🇦 No business case, but billions anyway
Here’s the punchline: even the regime press admits there may be no economic case for expanding Churchill, yet Ottawa and Manitoba still flirt with a $2 billion to $3 billion bill because sovereignty now gets treated like an optional luxury add-on. As reported, Chris Avery put the upgrade cost at up to $3 billion, while Wab Kinew is daydreaming about a $79 billion LNG fantasy off Hudson Bay. Real infrastructure first, maybe, after the press release tour and investment-summit cosplay.
This is the Trudeau-Carney era in one frame: Canada spent years gutting energy, surrendering trade leverage, and letting sovereignty become a talking point for conferences and consultants. Now suddenly Churchill is an insurance policy because our access routes are vulnerable and our American friends are less friendly. No kidding. A serious country builds strategic corridors before dependence becomes a crisis. Our political class would rather hide market studies, chase vanity projects, and pray global conditions stay convenient.
