Building a Year-round port for oil, gas, potash, etc. at Churchill on Hudson’s Bay

A New Arctic Warfare Centre for the Canadian Armed Forces?

A New NATO Base for the Arctic To Counter Russian Aggression?

Canada For Canadians

It’s time for Canada to get creative. Building a deep water, year-round port at Churchill, Manitoba would serve the interests of Western Canada and shorten shipments of all kinds from Canada to Europe, the UK and the Southern Hemisphere.

Technology has reached a point where a pipeline and railway are viable options. Alberta has the financial resources to make a year round deep-water port, railway and pipeline a reality.

While it would cost billions to develop, once constructed, the port has major economic advantages over shipping commodities to the Pacific or the Atlantic coastal ports.

And building the rail line, does not have to entail muskeg or permafrost, moving the line west by a hundred kilometres puts the line on rock and pipeline on a rock foundation.

Canada should expedite that project and involve partners, whether they be Canadian or from large multinational foreign companies. It’s time to get creative Canada. We don’t have time, and developing Churchill is not only feasible, with what is happening to Canada at this very moment, it’s practicable.

Germany and the EU are looking for a secure, reliable and honest partner that will provide long term guarantees on the delivery of LNG, CNG, Oil, potash, grains, etc., etc. We are that partner. It’s way past time to diversify with a sociopath in the White House.

Canada will diversify its trading partners and trading routes quickly, now that America has become a predatory power and, at least in relation to trade, now an enemy of Canada. Having a new deep water port offers tremendous opportunities to the Canadian Armed Forces in the future as well, as facilities for the Canadian Air Force, Navy and Army can all be leveraged by the construction of a new deep water port at Churchill.

Building a new Canadian Armed Forces Arctic Warfare Centre in Churchill would create a jump off point and a forward operational staging area for Canada’s new fleet of AIP submarines as well as the new RCD River Class Surface Combatant Project fleet of Destroyers.

In addition, Canada has invested in new Polar icebreakers, which could keep the Port’s routes open to the Atlantic Ocean year round.

The feasibility studies have already been completed, designated as the Western Energy Corridor Inc. It is feasible, rational and although expensive, more than doable.

It’s now time for Canada to leverage Churchill’s future deep water port possibilities. There is no time to lose. Canadian energy and commodity independence should be at the forefront of near-term considerations on how to get Canadian Strategic Resources to tidewater.

Come on Canada. America is attempting to strangle Canada economically. Let’s show the Americans we won’t be held hostage or a target for extortion.
