This thing will be moving ahead full steam this year, with hundreds of millions of dollars in development occuring. With the recent annoucements made in the federal budget Winnipeg will be the major inland port.

As far as a link to the United States i cant see Winnipeg having a dramatic advantage over Regina..in fact i think Regina may have the advantage...and Regina is strategically in a better position to serve Western Canada then WPG. Regarding USA, Regina/Moose Jaw already act as a container shipping hub as we have a direct rail line to Twin Cities,Chicago,Kanasas City and MEXICO) . (see map)
according to the map Regina mayhave the USA advantage as well as the Port of Churchill, Duluth Minnesota is only a few hours further then transit from WPG. It looks like Winnipeg has no direct rail to Chicago?? ..I say Regina is the smart choice for "THE" Hub...(my mistake..i see WPG rail is routed east towards Duluth then Chicago).......
