• Green Pitch Ironic After Railways Shut Lines

The association's version of the calculator says it's possible to move a tonne of freight 167 kilometres on a single litre of fuel. CN's calculator is even better. It says it can move a tonne of freight 197 kilometres on a litre. This of course came after Canada's two national railways abandoned much of the Western grain-dependent branch-line system. According to a 2007 Transport Canada report on rail transportation, 29,304 kilometres of rail line have been "rationalized" in Canada since 1990. Another report notes that between the late 1960s and the mid-1990s, Canada lost 17 per cent of its branch-line network. One of the eight short-line railways operating in Saskatchewan has actually put some numbers to those benefits. The Red Coat Road and Rail Company that operates between Pangman a...

• Cleaning Up Our Act

If a company is using all virgin fibre to produce its paper, "there's a lot of room for improvement," said [Shiloh Bouvette], who was quick to cite challenges publishers face, including high costs, limited supplies and a competitive market for recycled content. "It's a question of availability," said [Bob Cox], pointing out the enormous appetite for recycled newsprint worldwide, including demand from rising powerhouse China. "If it was available, we'd be buying it.

• Putting Some Meat On Our Beef Industry

According to a 2008 Manitoba Beef and Cattle Industry profile, all but 17,800 of the 560,000 head of cattle this province produced in 2008 left the province. The cattle that were processed here produced 5.17 million kilograms of beef. We're importing about 20 million kg of fresh and processed beef from other provinces -- mostly Alberta -- and just under three million kg from other countries. That's the equivalent of about 78,000 animals -- four times our local slaughter. If local producers are affiliated with local processors catering to local consumers, there are expanded opportunities to create products tailored to the variety of "values" chains that are emerging -- ranging from catering to religious protocols for kosher and halal products to the growing interest in beef not treated w...
