Ep 14 Blaine Mersereau of NeeStaNan Utility Corridor to Hudson Bay

While there's been a lot of talk about shipping out of Hudson Bay, most of that has focused on Churchill. But a competing project is in the works, with a terminus at Port Nelson. It's called NeeStaNan, which means "All of us" in Cree. The idea would be to build a brand new port close to where one was attempted unsuccessfully over 100 years ago, at the mouth of the Churchill River. This new port would be built offshore, and could be used for a variety of commodities, including LNG and potash. But surprisingly, this podcast revealed that the First Nations backers are not keen on an oil pipeline, which premiers from Saskatchewan and Alberta are eager for.
