The Bowater Mersey paper mill in Queens County, Nova Scotia, has returned to full capacity.
Dave Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada that represents 258 workers at the mill said "the export market has solidified a bit. We’re starting to be a little cautiously optimistic."
The Bowater Mersey mill is co-owned by AbitibiBowater and The Washington Post. The mill is not operating under bankruptcy protection like AbitibiBowater's other mills.

This puts the nail in the coffin for Cornerbrook. Mersey desreves to make the cut though, lowcost and high quality product. There are many more paper machines in Canada and a few more in the states that should be closed ahead of this fine mill.

DAVE doesn't know where his own pisser is, let alone the market. Demand may have picked up as some customers are trying to load up to beat the March /April increases, but actual consumption hasn't.

Hear the Post is looking for $29 million for lost income from all the downtime Abi forced Mersey to take while they played their shell game giving Mersey's and T-Bay's orders to Quebec.

Pete, I wouldn't doubt it, as someone else said, it has always been about Quebec. How much compensation are they due with Abi taking down their quality ??
