    Seems like a weird contrast between the tone of the article and then mentioning the $175 million over 5 years being invested. What the heck does 35 million a year buy for an international sea port and arctic railway? A fresh coat of paint for a few of the warehouse buildings? Reporters should always put numbers like that in some sort of context. That’s their job.

      Good journalism requires talent and time, and paying for that costs money.

      Canadians have overwhelmingly chosen not to pay for journalism, so we get what we pay for: rushed articles that too often just rephrasing biased source material, or thinly disguised clickbait.
