why not do it in abbotsford?...it seems odd to me to drag cargo thousands of kilometres to process....even edmonton...if vancouver is the main port, to drive or train cargo way up north, process it and then ship it back south seems counter intuitive....thousands of kms of transportation for nothing.

That would make sense logistically for goods from the Port in Vancouver but maybe not from the Port in Prince Rupert.
Also, I would think that there would be serious issues trying to develop a huge inland port facility on any land in the agricultrual land reserve surrounding Abbotsford. Lots of farms growing raspberries and blueberries etc right in the path as you land at the Abbotsford airport and they are very anal about the farmland restrictions here.
