Don’t lose your perspective with your head in the clouds and forget to feed the cat.

Remember Rocky the flying squirrel was born on a cold November morn, and he had perspective of flight, cats don’t.Hey Bullwinkle…

Countervailing duty…

Perhaps the most memorable trade sanctions for us in Canada or British Columbia. Any time, were the countervailing duties Americans put on us when they began to feel the pressure of the modernization by numbers of sawmills and logging operations in British Columbia in particular.

These innovations cut local workforces down considerably. A milling operations such as one planer in Merritt,was once started in the home of a single entrepreneur; Bud Woodford, in the center of the town; Merritt had grown to being able to have 300 working people there at the birth of free trade . Some just very unskilled labour. All making livelihoods and used to having good jobs and skilled jobs at the height of markets.

Log port out of Stewart BC ended raw logs export when hydro power came for milling.

Inovation

The soft wood countervailing taxes Americans put on were mitigated by the fact that value added escaped it. We remember that the Mills here then became complimented by smaller Mills that did value-added, that was anything that wasn’t a 2×4 a 2×6 and other dimensional lumber (good reputation in the US Canadian blue) and had value added in it, including door jambs made of short pieces of cut offs, they were put into finger joints and were marketable in with attitude of value grown contribution rather then exploitation.

Opportunity meets ambition…

Innovation shouldn’t be stifled by heavy taxes it should be discovered in its trail of test.

Find a value added partner today…

By the way

Care is the way… With boundaries.

You first so you can be well with others…

Merritt Centennials

The Merritt Centennials met the Princeton Posse in action at the Nicola valley memorial arena in Merritt this evening. The final score was home 2 and guest five. That would be Princeton over Merritt in Merritt.

Great fun!.
