The solution is ....drumroll please.....

On the old days not only would they haul grain to Churchill they would haul it from Churchill to fill an order.

The Kewatin Tribal Council has offered to completely repair the line to Churchill. They have the knowhow and experience as they already own the Keewatin Railway and have for sometime. All it takes is for someone to give the OK and pay the cost. I doubt if any other company can do it as well, as quickly and as economically.

Indian time is twice as long as white man time and three time as expensive.

Keewatin tribe
could definitely fix the line, and cost effectively. Omnitrax just wants a government handout.

You can blame Omnitrax. After all, Merv Tweed is President and he's not qualified . . . For anything.

The solution is, hovercrafts. All seasons. All terrain.

U could run that Port from July1 to end of November if they wanted but like was said earlier the votes come from out east. Same old story. Not whats right for the people who could use it but only right for the people that get elected.

Maybe a populous country with a huge military budget wouldve put a nuclear sub base there in the 50s.
But canada? For wheat!? For 90 days of use!? We dont need it to show soveriegnty over arctic waters anymore.
There is highways over swamp to get to NOLA, but Churchill????
Unless you find a large resource to mine nearby. Let it go.

I went to a Hudson's Bay route assn meeting a few years ago. Learned a few things. Part of the reason the port wasn't open longer was ice. But also insurance was only available for 90 days. It was pointed out that Lloyds of London who supplied insurance had not changed to window for coverage despite better classes of icebreakers being developed.

With global warming I'm surpsed there is any ice up there.

And yes Keewatin Tribal Council would fix it quicker and cheaper.
