 SH> I don't think I'd ever heard of the road to Fort McMurray

Diefenbacker felt the road would pay for itself by making mineral, oil
and gas exploration and extraction more accessible. He compared it to
the first national railroad that was built solely to bring British
Colombia into the Dominion but paid for itself inadvertently by silver
discoveries near cobalt and later, nickel near Sudbury. Those mines
might have been delayed 50 years or more without a railway going through
the heart of the mining country.

 SH> could that be tied into the gas pipeline?

The pipeline will end at and tie into the continental system at High
Level not Fort Mcmurray. (Yellowknife will not be in its path.)



Cheers

Jim, in Yellowknife
