I guess you can say we are another casualty of the Irving empire...our sawmill was bought by them last spring and they cut the workforce in half after 2 weeks...those job cuts turned out to be permanent.
The other half was saved because there was a special license attached to the mill .
Any wood obtained from the license 10 area had to be processed at our mill.
This license has been in existence for over 20 years! But now with the new liberal government...it seems the license will apply no longer.
Mr Irving himself boasted to our conservative MLA that he would do what he wanted with our mill in Baker Brook once the Liberals took office...Well done Mr Irving!
Who cares about those little towns and those stupid people...The worst thing is that we can't even get a newspaper to print our story!
Is New Brunswick really a democracy or just a herd of mindless people run by bought politicians?
Could someone tell me how much total land the Irvings own in forestry alone?
Where are the anti-monopoly laws when you need them?
Hmmm, maybe North Korea would be a nicer place to live....By the way, Irving is shutting a mill in Quebec so the one in Baker Brook can stay open...wow they are saving 30 jobs in Baker Brook after cutting 35 here and 28 in Quebec...all this so they can supplement their mill in St Leonard.
A million acres bought from Bowater so that 30 people can work in Baker Brook...that is what I call sharing our resources!

An excellent story. If the author knows the forest industry we could use more in depth stories like that. Forestry is rarely covered, even though a quarter of a billion in tax dollars are sunk into it.
