Key figures
There’s highways moving under construction now, $35 billion is the defence spending being talked about.
It costs $300 million and it’s another 3,000 feet and it’s still not complete and that affects our Arctic sovereignty and security.
But if you have the same small community that has a high unemployment rate, I think Tuktoyaktuk is 75-percent unemployment, then it becomes almost impossible to afford a $15 gallon of milk or it’s $13 for one pound of ground beef.
Note: The unemployment rate for Tuktoyaktuk as of 2024, the latest community-based figure available from the NWT Bureau of Statistics, was 20.2 percent.
Trudeau had planned to spend $154 billion, Carney’s at $328, $329 billion.
