Is the argument that having motorized vehicles running on the "sidewalk" comes without risk because the operators are insured? When a motorized vehicle operates on the sidewalk, counter to their policy, it is doubtful that their insurance will cover the "incident". Similarly, the party that is most likely to suffer severe injury has little or no recourse but to accept a monetary settlement. In my own case, there is no amount of money that I would trade for my current health and the liklihood that my life will improve as I get farther into my retirement. In any regard, the operator hits me, I suffer a grave or severe injury and all the operator has to contend with is a higher premium/something. I will never take that bet, and I could care less about any industry and or tourist that would accept that sort of possible outcome. Recently an intersect_n changed from signals to stop signs and there has been at least 7 accidents. With such poor skill, maybe they shouldn't be insured.

That would be awesome. I'd really like to see that happen.

Goulais in both directions will have stop signs, Wallace Terrace will have the right of way. It's hard to see Wallace Terrace, west of Millie's, I have to ease out there quite a bit, it's even worse in the winter when they have the snow pushed to the west end of their lot. Anyway, I am sure that I will get through there without too much troubles. Carry on and cheers for now.

Another funny part is the comment that Pierre made about Carney before the election, something along the lines of governing from the hallway because he hadn't a seat in parliament. One wonders if the favour would be returned if the shoe was on the other foot. Carry on Canada.

One thing is for sure, whether they want to accept it or not, their Insurance rates will be moving north.

I read the list of questions that they would have asked, and I believe that they would have stymied the leader of the opposition again and again. The three word answers and the vindictives were old years ago; and they wouldn't be constructive in the world which we are faced with at this time. Anyway, thank you for providing this article. BTW, that's treaty land and otherwise provincial jurisdiction.

Northern Ports? - Other than Churchill (Manitoba) the only other "Northern" deep sea port served by a rail line is Prince Rupert. Due to Muskeg, the Churchill's rail line isn't reliable; a group of Manitoba First Nations are trying to develop interest for Port Nelson, which could better serve as a year round deep sea port; it would only require a short length of rail line to join it to existing infrastructure and places like Fort McMurray . It would only require 10 "typical train loads" per day to match the TMX. Similarly 10 "typical train loads" per day to Prince Rupert would also add TMX capacity. Are there facilities to load bitumen at those ports, no, but that is where Canadian Ingenuity and Persistence comes into play. BTW, red tape is not as cumbersome as NIMBYISM and distrust of corporate malfeasance; the paper mill that poisoned Grassy Narrows First Nation has long ago abdicated concerns, now it is up to the Provinical and Federal Governments, to try to make them whole. Shame.

Steel is the number one recycled commodity on the planet, current price is $125 per tonne. Algoma Steel, whenever it gets to 4 million tons of steel produced per year, will supply less than 0.5% of world steel production, and will not make even the slightest impact to the price of plate steel, $1000 per tonne, and even less affect on the price of scrap steel. It is important here and maybe to the Canadian government. That said, we are the smallest fish in the pond.
