the buck stops here I guess. Pretty final "our way or the highway"

Who knows, there could be interest in buying this mill
at a "competitive" price. Not so long ago, it was a better than average cost mill in the Canadian context,
thanks in no small part by the lowest industrial power rates in Canada.

At least now the workers can start collecting unemployment, and the workers up at Spruce Falls know they will have a job for at least a few more years. Too bad Abibow can't let all of us know our fate. I am at Thorold and hope the axe doesn't fall on me, but if it does, I'd like to know sooner than later and get on with my life.

its official the mill is up for sale or it will be shut permanentely, we now have a future, tembec: financially ,morally,intellectually compromised and bankrupt a company of losers who don,t have an original thought in their heads, good bye and good riddance.
To all the good people working our orders in Kap. you are in their sights next, we can feel your rear ends starting to pucker already and thanks for all your support !!! not!!! we look forward to getting all our orders back and seeing YOU !!! on the lock out line when you see what you got coming in the way of a contract or tembecs new way ultimatum style of bargaining, to you we say good luck and to that dog#*%$## company of losers called tembec...good riddance i was ashamed to actually say i worked for them.
If you ever need a lesson in community spirit come on down to Pine falls and we,ll show you how its done, the people here are incredible, not included is our former, incompetent management staff.
There is a santa after all and our future could,nt be brighter.
Merry Christmas anyways and to all a good life.

Thank you Tembec for being so incompetent. Get out of our town and take your management staff with you. They are no longer welcome in Pine Falls. As for Kap. good luck. I'm glad i am not in your shoes. Merry X-mas...

Yes, now the good folks of Pine Falls know the mill is for sale . It is the unknown that is so stressful. Now the virus will be gone, bunch of incompetent parasites. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year.

So much for bargaining in good faith with the union. We all knew Tembec was in trouble from the get go. I put 21 years into this mill, only to leave for Alberta, due to the management style. I am doing very well here, btw. Stay strong my union brothers and sisters. I am thinking of you all everyday. Do what you have to do to put food on your tables, because Tembec does not care about you all. I hope for God sakes Pine Falls survives. As for Tembec, they can leave town and they will not be missed. The above comments were expressed as my opinions. Merry Christmas all.

To the community of this pristine town and area, thank you for all your prayers and support. Your all a fine group of people that stands together. Without all of you we would have nothing.

Finally, we now have something to go on Tembec shows it's true intentions. Or, is it that they are now backed into a corner that they didn't expect to find themselves in?
Now the key thing here is to find more honest folk that would want to invest in workers that take pride in what they do for a living. We still need to be careful, the wolf population is large out there and we don't want to be taken or had again.
Tembec as a whole is in trouble, they are greatly in debt thanks to their own arrogance.
The Pine Falls mill on it's own is not a loser. With the right kind of management team this mill can make money. And it makes a good sheet of paper that can be number one.
With it being in a central location, cost of hydro, the close resources, and again with it's dedicated workers it is very viable.
Does this sound like a sales pitch? Maybe it is, all one has to do is come on down and find out what it's all about here in Pine Falls.
Yes the newsprint market has changed, and not for the better, but a market still exist, and this mill can still be a part of that market.
As long as we continue to live in a community of people that that do actually work together for a better future and have a community of people that prays and supports their families, friends, and neighbors Pine Falls will always be successful.

In my 1st comment i may of been a little harsh on the good folks in Kap and after sleeping on it " sorry my bad " but it,s hard not to be bitter when someone else has been eating your supper for the last three months.
To notaslave ....good comment but you forgot to include our 1st Nations brothers and sisters to the north, south east and west of us who were never given the time of day with this company,offers of a 1st nation partnership on a sawmill on site which could have reduced our cost per ton in the $50 to $80 range was flatly rejected by this backward thinking company, now it can become a reality that will benefit "all " the people of our surrounding area.
We are all one, we are all treaty people.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Tembec sacked all the Pine Falls management on Monday?

To tembecbegone, when I talk of the community, in my mind I do mean everyone in this area. I see the whole community as one, whether you live in Powerview, Pine Falls, Sagkeeng, Anishinaabe, St.George, Local Government District of Alexander, to the North and South on HWY304, the Beaches, etc. We are all one and that is what can make us and keep us strong.

Well said, amen brother amen.
