  2. Free skills training for homeless and people making less than $10,000/ per year.

    Government should invest in people that just need a hand up not a hand out. Providing training to people that need more skills to be able to get a job can increase less homeless and street beggars. It will not fix the problem totally, but rather offer people an avenue to get skills that are desperately needed for the province.

    I think that developing railways that will run across the country and bring citizens together (literally) will be something that will be welcomed with open arms. Fast trains that will connect communities via Canadian transit systems will be a positive development for the country. It's important to do this to create a unification between cities that is more effective than what we currently have.

  4. Building a high speed wireless network encompassing the North

    To integrate telecommunications across the entire country Canada needs to invest in wireless infrastructure throughout the Yukon, NWT and Nunavut.

  5. Development of distributed energy systems employing micro grids.

    Currently our reliance no a national energy grid infrastructure represents the country's Achilles Heel. We need to develop smart micro grids and local distributed energy that incorporates renewable and storage options. It means turning businesses and communities into their own utilities. It ensures that no single point of failure can bring down the grid in the event of extreme weather events.
