Great news!
PM Carney, the Liberal government, First Nations, private industry, and TWO, not one, but TWO provinces working together.

Shout it from the rafters. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great work. Thanks for your diligence in fact checking etc. And thanks for shining light on this good news.
Thanks for this well written, good news article!
A great article and worthy of celebration. I believe Tim Hodgson used the phrase “Process, refine, sell”. Finally we’re getting it right!
Great news and collaboration showing results! And the first grain left Churchill this week going to Europe. Go Canada!
Fabulous.
Good news for Canada.

Thanks, Colin. You always keep me on my toes.
