Whatever any government can get approved to link Hamilton through Quebec City, I'll support.

And then if we get any nation-building bribes... twinning the TCH across the island, completing the highway through Quebec/Labrador to our Great Northern Peninsula, a constitutional amendment allowing our primary ferry to Canada to be relocated to at least Argentia, but ideally Conception Bay South or Bay Bulls. If I'm not flying, I'd much rather be on the ferry for two days than drive across the fucking island. It is TORTURE. The highway crosses the interior. Nothing worth seeing is less than a 1.5 hour drive off it down some provincial route.

I'd like to see us aggressively push, and Canada to agree, that significant national defense infrastructure should be invested in Newfoundland and Labrador. Canada's Halifax-only Atlantic defenses pre-date our joining. They date to a time when Canada's Atlantic access was almost nothing, a little sliver between us and the United States. Canada should be spending a lot more as it has a much bigger Atlantic coast now, and it should be basing a lot of that in Happy Valley-Goose Bay and St. John's.
