Does organized crime not control Quebec contractors?
Is there not a BAN in Quebec that no contractor in NB can do any work in Quebec? If that is so NB should have priority to give work & contract to NB contractor over Quebec.
You are absolutely correct something fishy & it stinks. If TRUE then who is responsible to have gavin the contract to a Quebec contractor? Is it a person from Quebec giving it to his/her cousin?
Actually its Tracy where Marwood is located not Beaverdam. Marwood was formally known as APT, Atlantic pressure Treating. Locally Tracy, Fredericton Junction and Gary it was known as the "Pole Plant". The "Pole Plant" was started to by the Creelman family from Nova Scotia back in the 70's, to creosote pole for NB Power. Later it changed the technology to pressurized poles and lumber an different technology which involved injected a chemical substance into the wood under negative pressure (a vacuum) in long cylindrical tubes. The chemical that was primarily used in the late 80's was Copper and possibly arsenic.
The company from what I have been told has been sold some time ago. Ross Creelman had created a sister company in Red Deer in the eighties. Whether he still owns that one at this time is not known.
"The Pole Plant" was (is) a major employer for Gary, Fredericton Junction and Tracy.
Now until its verified the story of Marwood loosing the pole pressurizing contract to Quebec is just rumors, gossip whatever, this wouldn't be the first time that rumors about Marwood has been told, I remember one where the company was purchased by Irving
The biggest threat right now isn't Quebec for Job Loss it's Donald Trumps tariffs 90 day retro-active on softwood lumber. That isn't a rumor .. lol
Charles a lot of people from Quebec work in NB.
