'We got completely played for suckers,' MP says of recent takeovers in Canadian forestry | CBC News

Opposition MPs are aghast that after buying up two major Canadian companies, the foreign owner of one of Canada’s biggest forestry businesses is now also formally taking over an Indonesian-Chinese pulp and paper conglomerate from his family — a company he has long denied operating in tandem with.

It's good to see Quebec exercising this level of transparency on water use. Other provinces should follow their example #watercrisis #watersecurity #Canada #waterconservation #Quebec #mining #bottledwater #pulpandpaper

The secret is out: Here's who is using the most water in Quebec | CBC News

Quebec has lifted the veil of secrecy around the province’s biggest water users, revealing that billions of litres of water are used in a year by the mining and metal industry, along with pulp and paper manufacturing.

Back in the day there were 7 large Pulp and/or Paper Mills on Vancouver Island. They were the major employer in Port Alice, Gold River, Powell River, Campbell River, North Cowichan/Crofton, Nanaimo (Harmac), and Port Alberni.

Gold River closed permanently 20 years ago.
Campbell River closed permanently 15 years ago.
Harmac was sold to the employees 15 years ago, it continues.
Port Alice closed permanently 10-15 years ago.
Powell River closed permanently this year.
Crofton has been 'curtailed' for last 3 months due to 'market conditions’ (see link). The outlook is not bright.
Port Alberni is the last “company mill” on the Island and has avoided most of the turmoil at least outwardly.

Other than Harmac, the last 3 mills were the final ones owned by one entity. That entity, Paper Excellence, is owned by a member of the Wijaya family who run a huge conglomerate in Indonesia: Sinar Mas.

It's just numbers on a spreadsheet now.

I expect Port Alberni's mill to be closed within 5 years.

There are lots of reasons for the shutdown, but I believe the major one is company consolidation and offshoring of global pulp and paper production.
