Also, PlanetSpace’s website hasn’t been updated since 2009:

It doesn’t look good.

Also, launch sites located near the equator are better than launch sites farther north or south. There are many other sites in the world that would make a better spaceport. The USA already has a really good site in south Florida, for example. We would probably put a new spaceport in Hawaii before we put one in Canada.

But Cape Breton might be a good choice for a Canadian spaceport. I hope the Canadian government can be convinced to build one – we need more spaceports in the world.
