“But when I look at the Port of Prince Rupert, a lot of those issues don’t exist there because it is right on the ocean.”
Flatlanders...
Dear Premier Smith. Consult a map.
Prince Rupert is not “on the Ocean” any more than Calgary is “in the Rocky Mountains”.
It is around the same distance from Calgary to Banff as it is from Prince Rupert to the northwest tip of Haida Gwaii and you don’t want to do either in a storm.

“Smith wants to work with B.C., still hopes for buy-in on lifting tanker ban”

P.S. and if you want to get technical, consult an official chart. No “pacific oceans” noted on that chart.

#TIL: Greenland, which is an *island*, shares a *land border* with Canada. 🫨
Yup.

huh. TIL: there is a “four corners” place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60° Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.
It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.
It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.
Also, technically. It is not a perfect “joining” on the map which is just bad planning on Canada’s part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)
