The province is currently in the process of passing Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, legislation it introduced to speed up mining projects in the north.
It could be the spurring point for more resource extraction in the north which could lead to jobs and exports but always comes with environmental destruction regardless of the economic impact and continues Canada’s dependancy on a resource extraction economy.
What’s wrong with a deep sea port in James Bay? Isn’t that whole region about to have increased marine usage?
I don’t really know anything on the topic. Other than we shouldn’t increase use of that corridor, is there something else?
There’s already rail there, but I imagine the existing system would be woefully inadequate…

Ya I can see that happening pretty easily beyond just being a port.
Make a new port, improve the rail system, and suddenly it’s a much better target for resource extraction over the entire area.
