For 100 years, Canada had essentially one road to the world: south, through the United States. American railroads, American ports, American pipelines. Whoever controls the only way out, controls you — and that was the quiet foundation of America's leverage over Canada. Then Trump turned that road into a weapon. And Canada looked north. In the far north of Manitoba, on the frozen shore of Hudson Bay, sits the Port of Churchill — Canada's ONLY deepwater Arctic port connected to the national rail network, and the shortest route from the prairies to Europe. For decades it was sleepy and half-forgotten. Now it's becoming national strategy. In 2025, Ottawa committed $175M over five years; with Manitoba, the Churchill corridor now has $262.5M+ behind it. The project — "Port of Churchill Plus" — aims to upgrade the Hudson Bay Railway, bring in icebreakers to extend the shipping season, and build a new energy corridor. Carney and Manitoba's Premier will release the full strategy in spring 20
