The West greeted the news that the United States had approved the Alaska to Alberta railway (A2A) with excitement. The project if completed would be a fantastic economic boon to the entire West in every industry.
With new rail access to a deep water port, every industry would be able to broaden their export markets. From potash to lumber to wheat to oil along with a great tourism route, the A2A offered tremendous potential.
Not only could the West increase the export of raw and finished goods, we could import goods. This would lead to a reduced consumer cost of living and with our central location in North America, we could potentially become a distribution hub for imported products throughout the entire continent. Winnipeg is already well placed for such a role.
Unfortunately the Laurentian elite in Ottawa see this as a threat to Central Canadian control and they have moved swiftly to kill this project in its tracks.
Justin Trudeau openly mused that he will be using Bill C-69 (the pipeline killing bill), in order to kill A2A. The threat in is quote is pretty clear: “Whether there is a potential for a project, before the procurement goes too far down the round and invests too much money in it, in something that is unlikely to pass,”
Essentially, Justin Trudeau is telling investors not to put money into the A2A project because it won’t be able to withstand the ridiculous conditions for approval in Bill C-69. The chilling effect alone on investment should be enough to kill this project. Trudeau won’t even need to use C-69.
Who in their right mind would invest billions into a project when the nations Prime Minister is saying it won’t be approved?
Say goodbye to the Alaska to Alberta rail line idea folks. It was nice while it lasted.

What kind of Morron refuses a $22 Billion dollar project paid for by someone else?
The kind that votes Liberal.
That would be the same type of, in fact the same moron, that purchased a pipeline. That type of moron must be at the black belt level of moronity…
The moron doesn’t realize that his inheritance will eventually be worth nothing if his tyrannical regime keeps going. And borrowing to support the Bananada peso won’t change its value one iota, but will make it worse. Further, no one will allow the citizenry to escape elsewhere because the currency will be worthless (sort of like Venezuela). All the virtue signalling in the world will be seen for its real value when the country dies.
This is just another example of this goverments assinine policy decisions made by a kid who has a big bankaccount and wants to ruin this country’s ability to make ends meet .
It is passed time to throw this dictator out of office ,before he totally ruined this country
Justin Castreau is not loyal to Canada.
“Moron” infers a working IQ of between 50 – 75; an imbecile of 25 – 50; and an idiot, less than 25. Don’t give credit to Trudeau for “working”, let alone, being a moron MJM
If Alberta was sovereign the project would already be approved.
The Country of Alberta would only control the area within its borders. Trudeau and his indigenous Yukon friends and their environmental “allies” would still kill this project. This railway would end somewhere north of High Level, in the middle of the forest.
I thought these liberal morons LIKED 19th century tracked steam tech?
i think it’s corruption, with Trudeau posturing for bribes from industry to allow projects. https://www.albertaseparation.org/2020/10/trudeau-threatens-to-kill-albertas-new.html
I posted your link at the bottom of my article, you have a very nice blog here!
What did people think would happen when you elected a trust fund baby with nice hair . No monitory common sense , So sad that the capable people would not want the job because of how your life gets destroyed in public office . Change the way we are populous think and maybe a snowboard instructor with no understanding of the world would not be our leader .
So sad
