Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Hans, I gotta ask why the tag line? Who’s army?
Why such a long signature line? A simple soft return after your name would work better than 3 returns.
Here’s an example:
Hans Rupprecht, Commander in Chief
1st Saint Nicolaas Army
Army Group “True North”
I grew up in northern Manitoba. On the west side we have bush till central Manitoba where it then resolves into prime farmland which can easily be expropriated. On the east we have bush and indians until almost Winnipeg. Indians want roads, NDP wants a world heritage site. Not just the math that’s stupid.
Gord, cgh:
Thanks – I guess that’s what happens when you stop going to “continuing education” classes!
Hydro Quebec didn’t use AC back in the day rather than HVDC because they didn’t have the technology, but because (at the time) the leaders in HVDC in Canada were English Electric UK ( no longer exists) and the “maudits anglais” weren’t going to get the contract unless hell froze over. Period.
If there was a real economic reason to route west rather than east, they should say so. A billion up front & time is a TONNE of money can will do massive harm to the project profitability.
For the time + a billion, you could a lot better things. For instance I’d bet you could run optic cable to everyone in any community of any consequence in the province and wire the entire province to wicked fast internet. Might have some economic value, help rural communities?
Who knows, I’m SURE there are economically better things to do with a billion.
I think the first question has to be “what are you going to do with the electricity these damns will generate”. The NDP have a grand history of building damns for “economic developement”. Then they give away the power or spill the water. Of course it should be on the East, down the West at the narrows the existing lines come so close you can almost touch them. One Kaboom would darken the Province.
Apparently the price of natural gas may drop the need for bipole 3
