I assume that if an Arctic hydro dam was a viable proposition, someone else would have already done it. But cost is apparently no object. In order to expedite that, a bitumen pipeline is going to get dropped from the list. What’s notably missing from the list as well is any mention of funding to complete a four lane highway across the country, which would finally put us on par with most semi-industrialized nations.
The Crawford nickel project in northeastern Ontario is also expected to be on the list, as well as Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc.’s mine and battery-materials plant project in Quebec, an Iqaluit hydro project and a major electricity transmission line in northern B.C., according to reports from CBC News and Bloomberg News.


Fitch ain’t having any of it.
