Well, I'm not too proud to say I am not familiar with the area, and have no idea what I'm talking about. I was just running under the assumption that a second highway from Alberta to NWT would be beneficial. Perhaps it would only do more to open up Northern Alberta...I'm sure an all season road would lower the cost of living in Fort Chip, and make getting food/supplies etc up there much cheaper.
