Hudson Bay Energy Export Terminal

Canadian energy exports from Saskatchewan & Alberta are desperate to find tidewater ports in order to supply the global community with Canadian ethically sourced oil.

Political cultures in British Columbia and Quebec mean that future pipelines through either of those 2 provinces is a dead end.

When confronted with problems, adults find solutions. Churchill Manitoba is the solution to the world's energy problems.

The Hudson Bay’s?average water depth is 330 feet. A double hauled tanker ship requires 45 feet of water to safely navigate.

Port of Churchill would require a floating mono-buoy which tankers attach to and is connected to a swing. The mono-buoy freely moves 360° with the tide and wind. The mono-buoy would sit in water of 45 feet to 60 feet deep. An underwater pipeline would transfers crude oil from a pipeline and or tank farm to the mono-buoy and to the tanker ships.

Manitoba would need to step up with basic road upgrades and telecommunications infrastructure. Some search & rescue operations, and upgraded fire department infrastructure. The federal government would need to upgrade rail infrastructure at some point. All this of this would revive the economy of Northern Manitoba creating good long-term jobs and development.

Hudson Bay is currently ice free 6 to 7 months of the year. It’s new yearly saltwater ice, which means it’s not thick like in the arctic.

So who would not like this idea? Well a loud group of so-called "conservatives" would despise the idea. It ruins their end game - fundraising on the back of British Columbia & Quebec is great source of constant political revenue.

The Conservative Party of Canada doesn’t want the idea to work. It weakens anti-Ottawa fundraising opportunities which the party needs to survive. Pitting its western prairie base against what it calls the “Eastern Laurentien Elite”.

The Hudson Bay Energy Export Terminal would be a very large northern development project providing great job opportunities and economic development opportunities for northern communities.

The solution for the global community's need for ethically sourced oil in the face of Russian & Putin aggression and war in Ukraine is the Hudson Bay.

In 10 years, I'll make sure to remind you about the Hudson Bay Energy Export Terminal again...
