10 & 11 pm are in Ottawa not Cornwall. A lot has been said of the Cornwall closure, which was seen coming a long time ago. The Ottawa opereation was shut down while still profitable. It is obvious that they will eventualy shut down all canadian operations as they merge with wyerhouser and move into China with the US as a distribution point for customers in north and south america.
We got screwed by the opec idiots, who think that they were picked by the gods to rule the earth and do everything that they can to bankrupt and terrorize western nations.
