Saskatchewan is rolling along the best of all the provinces,try to find a contractor.They are all booked for a year and beyond.However we are having the driest spring in recent memory for most and this will be a massive hit to the whole province.

She will be ice free in 2 yrs with climate change.

Oil and NGLs can be stored. Grains and potash can be warehoused. Then fire them out in the summer window.

In the off season send up tons of tourists to see the polar bears.

I thought the polar bears all died due to climate change, you know the same climate change that is making the arctic ice free, and warming not twice, but now 3 times as fast as the rest of the world.

Maritimes biggest black mark is an old population. Young people left in droves for better prospects and only return when they’re ready to die. I watched that Island Diaries show about St Pierre islands. They’re just off Newfoundland and a French territory. They’re a ward of the French govt. when fishing went to pot so did the economy. In fact a lot of those colony islands are in the same boat. Often times a single industry that goes bust and no incentive for the young to stay. All that’s left are the old, ones who serve the population, and the unemployed. Tourism is about all that’s a driver but that’s a fickle beast. Point is Newfoundland and maritimes are doomed to be wards of the federal government. They’re deep as it is and don’t have the people to drive the economy. We all think you need hard resources to make wealth and that is true enough but without people to develop them it’s no use. An able work oriented population is a bigger resource than the ore in the ground.

But what if the customers for our grains do not want delivery that matches our 2 month shipping window? Sounds like a great way for savy traders/foreign buyers to discount western grains again if they know large amounts of grain must be moved in a short time period.

They already know where the grains are.

Look at Australia. Haul everything off the combine to a central facility then start marketing.

Customer options sometime open up when I he commodity is already at port. It would only be fraction of our production.

Perhaps we should wait and see when it does become ice free LoL.
In the mean time, we have the Mississippi and the Columbia.
Gawd forbid we improve assets on our own soil.

With the expected population growth in US Mexico and 100M people here it's entirely possible one day our exports stay on shore.

China nearing zero pop growth. They are going for more quality so meat consumption is growing.

[furrowtickler]

Bugs are good , meat bad for the climate though ....
or is it ok for China to consume meat but not North America so we can save the climate ??
