The good thing about the Panama Canal is that it is most everything to do with it is agreeable. Most political endeavors are opposed by various people and organizations, but pretty much everyone supports the Panama Canal and wants to make it better.

well, probably the economy of Panama will have a boost. global economy will just have faster, better routes for big ships
