Upholstery Arts was the featured manufacturer when Ottawa and Toronto retailer DeBoer's Furniture (www.deboers.com) launched its everGreen line last year. Now the stores have added Montreal's G. Romano Inc. and Toronto's Perri Fine Furniture to its eco-supplier list. DeBoer's also carries products from Toronto's Urban Tree Salvage, an outfit that turns some of the countless apple, oak and other trees that are cut down in that city each year into items like dining room tables and desks. You need green to go green. An eco-friendly sofa at DeBoer's will run you a hefty $2,700. Thanks to growing demand and consequent economies of scale, that's down from $5,000 a couple of years ago but still out of many folks' league. As an alternative, de Boer suggests less expensive "hybrid" products wher...

Children constitute an important target market segment and merit attention from a marketing perspective. The role that children play in making decisions concerning the entire family unit has prompted researchers to direct attention to the study of influence of children. The amount of influence exerted by children varies by product category and stage of the decision making process. For some products, they are active initiators, information seekers, and buyers; whereas for other product categories, they influence purchases made by the parents. The purchasing act is governed by how they have been socialized to act as consumers. Family, peers, and media are key socializing agents for children wherein family-specific characteristics such as parental style, family's Sex Role Orientation (SRO)...

Manitoba's hotel honcho didn't win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers brass with his $520-million domed stadium proposal, but that hasn't meant he's had a bad year. Just last month he christened his new $50-million hotel in Grand Forks -- an event Manitoba's senior minister, [Vic Toews], thought was so important that he skipped a provincial justice mission in Ottawa. He's also building a $25-million hotel adjacent to the Health Sciences Centre and figuring out the redevelopment of the old Metropolitan Theatre into a bar/restaurant/rock 'n' roll museum.

If oil goes to US$200, as the CIBC has forecast, "we are back to the tariff rates not seen since prior to the Kennedy Round GATT negotiations in the mid-1960s. Are we seeing a major inflow of jobs back to the manufacturing sector? Not yet," he said. "But if oil prices continue to rise and transport prices even double from the current rate, you will see more and more jobs coming back." "How much of Chinese manufacturing production will be coming home remains to be seen," the report adds, "but there is certainly no reason why we should not expect to see at least comparable if not greater trade diversion than we saw during the OPEC oil shocks of the 1970s."
