But the next set of projects reveals the true scale of her challenge.

Her to-do list includes massive, conceptual undertakings like the #WindWest offshore power project in Nova Scotia, a new corridor to the #Arctic, and a #High-speedRail line between Quebec City and Toronto.

'The project, which is expected to produce enough energy to meet up to 27% of CANADA’S TOTAL DEMAND, will be an economic windfall across many sectors and help stabilize power rates, Houston said after a cabinet meeting Thursday.' #TheFutureIsElectric #CdnPoli #WindWest

It’s a rare, ambitious, long-term infrastructure opportunity. Don’t let smug columnists poison the well because they don’t know what an HVDC backbone is.

Critique with knowledge, not ego.
