One of the camping YouTubers I watch, @xanderbudnick, drove to Nunavut on a technicality for a winter camping trip. Basically he drove to super northern Quebec and went across an icebridge to a Hudson’s bay island which counts as Nunavut.
@pafeso1659
Seems like a railroad would be a good option, I know that in Quebec they have a railroad that goes up north. But even then there are issues with passenger demand and I wonder how it would compare to air transit. Great video!
@HonuFlight
Another big reason is Canda doesn't really have the money. Take the Alaska Highway. The United States paid to have that constructed. Also we have a gravel road running all the way up to Prudhoe Bay, granted it exists for the oil industry, it is open to the public and anyone brave/adventurous enough can drive it.

What is the secondary language on that map at 7:30? Inuit?
@stephenmasson320
There is an exkar north of Lynn Lake that has no permafrost and it extends all the way to Bakers Inlet. The cost of this road would be minimal, as the exkar is elivated is made up of gravel and sand. it crosses few rivers, so the cost would be a minimum So no more excuses, we either own the north or we don't We must exert soverentty or others will. Don't listen to this guy. Enviomental concerns would have prevented the construction of transCanada or the railroads. Greenies are the biggest deterant to northern communities. Huge resources up there. Build roads people will come
@Mainerinrancho
Another great video 🙌 Lots of questions answered.
@runrau9275
Well actually the CDN Government was going to build a all season road there but the locals said "we will have nunavut"
@nicolerichards5769
There was once talk of a winter road being made from Churchill Manitoba to Rankin Inlet Nunavut but I think that all went down the drain
@Zacs1993
Super interesting stuff! Thanks
@drivingnbandbeyond
I was in Nunavut when the Territory was established.
@stickynorth
A great follow up video could/should/would be the MacKenzie Valley Highway project and why it's still never been completed after all this time. Ditto for the oil and gas infrastructure projects that could have been built since the 1970's... There's still talk as of this month of upgrading the highway and retiring as many ferries as possible along the way since drought and ongoing mechanical issues have rendered them useless MOST of the summer so far cutting off Fort Simpson and parts North and West of there from the rest of Canada... The prices when trucking is in place are roughly the same as down south even at Northern Stores, which are rip off monopolies in most towns up there. It's when the road gets cut and the boats can't dock do the prices skyrocket and a litre of milk will go for $12 or some shit..

Awesome channel subbed
@nicismagic
Nunaviummit wants to keep the land as it is, its a big factor why, they also got billions of dollars( 120 some ) that just disappeared on a 10 year span, politicians being the same everywhere..
@maedero05
Excetp winter up Nunavik islands waterway options are too obviouse. Air supplies in winter only way except local food options. Alaska like ferry system would be awesome to have ?
@stickynorth
There was actually extensive studies done to extend the road from Gillam to Churchill then into Nunavut reaching Arviat and Baker Lake I believe... Personally I'd love to see it. Churchill really should be the huge regional hub it was always intended to be back when it was planned as Roblin City, which they planned to house up to 500,000 in...
@nicismagic
Also, the picture of the deep water port entrance was nice. I spent over 2 years there
@Sturcz1
They could st least Build one singular part of road that is like 5 meters long just long enough to cross the border of Nunavut so they can say that they have everything connected
@deathwarrent8465
Too damn cold
@zalllon
This video was a waste of time. Thought there be some real video by the channel.
