Can only enhance the value of access to the Gulf of America.

I've seen construction crews in Mexico. One person is digging with a shovel. The other 5 guys are sitting 30 feet away taking a break.

Well, Mexico is about to get a large labor force returned, looking for work, so I say go for it

Good luck getting a large ship through that.

Just think of the landslides during the rainy season.

Maybe a Jon boat freighter.

I see nothing wrong with this. Competition is good.

It isn't for ships if the video is correct. It's a rail corridor to move goods across land combined with port upgrades.

For those that don't know...

From my understanding its not an actual canal at all. Its a Train that carries cargo back and forth

Hmmmm....who is really funding this? It definitely isn't the Government of Mexico. It is either China or the Cartel. Neither good.

I think it's actually a railway from that video.

That said they must not believe in global warming, because a Northwest Passage would make NY to Japan super fast.
