Two roads too late?

摘要

Sorry, but I find it hard to get excited by the recent news that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has broken ceremonial ground on a new all-weather highway from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. As much as I favour any infrastructure work the Feds are willing to pay for, I have to question why a 140-km gravel highway (that's been on the books since the Diefenbaker years in the 1960s) now gets a push and will still be on the books until it's scheduled to be completed in 2018?
