I'm glad to see that Newfoundland and Labrador's finally finished filling in Ungava Bay - I thought that project would be dragging on forever. Or does that land properly revert to Nunavik, now that it's land?

Actually, it appears that Jamesland and Ungavaland (since it's not really accurate to call them "bays" anymore, apparently) are part of Nunavut, along with that triangle-shaped land connecting Quebec to Baffin Island. Finally, no geographic boundaries stand in the way of high-speed rail from Windsor to Iqaluit!

The Qikiqtaaluk Express!

Now there's a passenger rail dream to pursue!

I'll be interested in reading Inuit and Cree opinions on the idea...especially if they get co-ownership stakes in the rail line proposed.
