Not Yellowknife, but an all weather highway linking Ft Mac to NWT highway 5 at Fort Smith would do a lot to open up the NWT.

Don't get me wrong....Fort Smith is my favourite place on earth, but how exactly would linking the highway to Smith open up the North? Fort Smith isn't exactly a supply city for industry. The only thing it would do it encourage daming of the Slave so they could run power down along the highway to the oilsands.....which would be a disaster.
