Engineered Lumber, AWOuld that hapen to be Ainsworth Engineered? I too am a victim of the Softwood lumber crisis. I used to work for Ainsworth in Savona, but last job was for West Fraser in 100 MIle. Now, I'm at a mine in the NWT. Mining is still somewhat sustainable. for the near future anyways



Soory to hear about it though. One persone once told me, "One door closes, and another WILL open. Usualy for the better." It did for me. Took 4 months of no paycheque though

Can relate to your experience.

In Ontario the manufacturing and uuto sectors have experienced many job losses. Everyone here knows someone who has lost their job it seems.

My company is way smaller than it once was. Livin on a prayer. Best of luck.

terrible time all over, thats for sure.
at the very least, the economic issues affecting us are short term on the grand scale...
I was reading on bloomburg that bernanke and Obamas team had figured that they can take all of these toxic cdo's that have crippled the credit market and put them into the futures market to be traded as a commodity...


This is really good news, it could mean that the beginning of the end of this crisis is at hand...
