#1 Anyone with even an elementary understanding of economics would want to see such a thing built. It would vastly improve the economic conditions of all concerned.

For example: what if New Jersey shut off all major highways to New York. What that improve the economy of EITHER side?

What we need are MORE and larger transportation interconnects throughout North America. As you do that, you will find disparity in economies going way, a MUCH smaller problem with immigration (no need to) and in improvement in everyone's standard of living.

People who are against more open trade in North America are suffering from a severe case of cranial rectosis.

#2 "our northern Port of Churchill". . . . . . which is open to shipping for about one month of the year. Also. . . . the only inland access to Churchill is by rail. There will never be a road because of the geography and cost. This idea of including Churchill is just pitiful.

#3 The notion you would build a north/south transport corridor through Manitoba is just silly. There is nowhere to go to north of Manitoba.
