Edmonton Companies News & Discussion

If the Port of Vancouver is truly running out of capacity, I wonder if Prince Rupert can step up and take over. That would be great for Edmonton, as we are connected to PR via the CN mainline, which would definitely help attract more logistics business.
This was played up ten or so years ago when they were increasing the capacity of the PR port. The strategic reason at the time was that the Port of Vancouver would eventually be at capacity. Would be exciting if this resulted in more business in PR.
 
Interesting move...

I'm a bit dissapointed that it'll just be for internal use, but at the same time it will go a long ways in helping to increase the economies of scale for solar power locally, and also expose more people here to solar power as a power source which can succeed locally, so I'm still very happy with this.
