The Port of Churchill has potential, but major questions remain unanswered: demand, financing, seasonality, logistical constraints and long-term competitiveness. Ambition alone isn't a strategy. My latest in the @financialpost financialpost.com/opinion/th…

Opinion: The port of Churchill needs a more modest vision

Big ambitions are not bad. But a smaller-scale vision for Churchill would be more achievable and of greater ultimate benefit

BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson tells staff he is NOT running for House minority leader, Fox News Digital has learned. The decision comes as Rep. Jim Jordan is running for the position, setting up a leadership shakeup for House Republicans as they prepare for their next chapter in the minority.

None of that was the fault of the troops. The poppy honours the fallen, not the politics of the day.

But can we agree that promoting LNG and mineral exports out of a mostly ice-covered port in Churchill using icebreaking, is a lot riskier than sending double hulled oil tankers out of Prince Rupert, which can already accommodate shipping containers that carry 50,000 barrels/8000 m3 of petroleum fuel in their own tanks? Can we agree there are different standards being applied for political, rather than scientific or technical, reasons?

If Canada has a problem getting things built, a big part of the reason can be traced to our refusal to talk about our national identity. Here's why the ‘who are we?’ question won’t go away, from Andrew Potter.

A map depicting the notional coverage of Canada's forthcoming Arctic over-the-horizon backscatter (OTH-B) radar, which will be constructed at sites in the Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, area. The map reflects a series of assumptions about radar coverage and is subject to the standard caveats about depictions of radar and air defence coverage. Details and a higher-resolution image, as well as a map that also incorporates the coverage offered by the future American OTH-B site in Oregon, can be found on my site. 1/2
