There’s no other country / group of people on Earth who scramble all over themselves to talk about why we can’t build things than Canadians.
Canada has become a country of people saying why things can’t work rather than why they can. Spending time on this website is a good example of that.
And again I go back to- if Canadians aren’t willing to do anything different, then we’re gonna get what’s coming. Most entitled people on Earth. We think we can continue to have the highest standard of living in the world and in exchange offer it no value. You either have to make stuff or sell resources. You don’t get to do nothing.

I’m not trying to talk anyone out of building things, but I am telling you that even expansion of that ROW is nigh impossible and you can’t build further west than Burnaby to change the port situation. I’m not saying it to be defeatist, I just know the reality there. I mean I guess you can if you’d like to but it would mean ripping up neighborhoods.
What is possible is Kitimat or Prince Rupert. So if people want to get serious about that conversation there’s no technical or logistical reason why not. There’s a whole host of economics at play but no reason technically.
