Ear Falls workers have waited long enough. For more than a year, Interfor’s sawmill has sat idle. 160 workers have been left without their regular jobs, and families have been left wondering. …These are good, unionized jobs. …While the Ear Falls mill has sat idle, Interfor has invested south of the border, including completing a $145-million reconstruction of its sawmill in Georgia. It has moved its corporate headquarters from Canada to the United States. …A private corporation makes decisions based on what is best for its business and shareholders. …But government should make the decisions that are best for the people of northern Ontario. ….A publicly owned mill can play the long game. It still has to operate sensibly and compete. But it can measure the return differently. …If Interfor won’t reopen the mill, it’s time for government to step in.
