We should be mobilizing the military to provide emergency supplies to northern communities. We should also try to negotiate with the US for a temporary removal of the passport requirement for the Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay border crossings until this situation is resolved.

I do kinda agree regarding the removal of passport controls, but that is prone to abuse. That said, commercial vehicles should have passport controls removed if their trip is less than 48 hours and they are only transiting back into Canada via the northern routes.
There is a need for additional options. A 4 lane corridor with 2 separate bridges would help a lot, but a low-standard collector road further north should be constructed as well.
