Forum Talk: Ottawa Senators Inch Closer To Downtown Arena District
This sale follows an agreement in principle from last year. And as Senators president-CEO Cyril Leeder said in a press release on Monday, there are still many more hurdles to clear, but they're taking the next step in a process to build a rink that's not only more central in Ottawa but more accessible to residents of Gatineau, Que., with nearby interprovincial bridges over the Ottawa River.
Postmedia reports the Senators agreed to pay just more than $30 million in the sales and that there's also expected to be new housing, a hotel, restaurants and more in the district.
This reminds me of the Ice District in Edmonton, which houses Rogers Place, the home of the Edmonton Oilers. But what other arena developments can you think of that brought this much significant change to a city?

CHARLEBOIS: Why are we trading our breadbasket for a battery pack?
China's announcement this week of a 75.8% tariff on Canadian canola seed, effective Thursday, is not an isolated policy shift — it's the latest escalation in a trade conflict that Ottawa itself helped set in motion. Earlier this year, on March 20, Beijing imposed 100% tariffs on Canadian canola oil, canola meal, and peas, along with an additional 25% on lobster and pork. These measures were already weighing on our agri-food exports. The catalyst for this latest blow came in September 2024, when the federal government moved to impose 100% duties on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), aligning itself with Washington's protectionist stance to safeguard the North American EV market. Days later, China launched an anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola, culminating in this preliminary 75.8% duty — collected as a deposit — while a final ruling is still pending. Let's be clear: There is no dumping of Canadian canola into China. Dumping implies selling at prices below production costs or below those in the home or other export markets, typically to capture market share unfairly. Canada's canola market is highly transparent and globally competitive — these allegations are without merit. What China is doing is strategic — they know canola's economic and symbolic weight in Canada. The very name 'canola' comes from 'Canada Oil,' a 1970s innovation that transformed rapeseed into a high-value, versatile oilseed crop. It is both an economic powerhouse — worth $43 billion annually — and an emblem of Canadian agricultural ingenuity. By targeting canola, Beijing isn't just disrupting trade — it's striking at the heart of Canada's agri-food brand. The timing is no accident. With harvest just weeks away, farmers have little capacity to pivot to alternative buyers. Australia may pick up some of China's demand, but it cannot replace Canada's supply capacity. This means the immediate economic pain — falling prices, reduced revenues, and likely losses — will be felt disproportionately by Canadian farmers. What might have been a break-even year is now a probable deficit for many producers. EDITORIAL: Crushed by the two tariff tyrants GOLDSTEIN: Carney's energy minister makes business case for natural gas GUNTER: Pure folly for Liberals to try to force electric vehicles on Canadians The backdrop to all of this is Ottawa's high-stakes bet on the EV sector. Despite nearly $50 billion in combined federal and provincial investments, Canada's EV industry is faltering. Sales are dropping, mandates are clashing with market realities, and major projects are delayed or shelved. Without a significant acceleration in charging infrastructure, policy recalibration, and restored investor confidence, the sector risks collapse. The federal government's trade stance is effectively protecting a fragile EV industry at the expense of a robust and profitable canola sector. One is speculative and policy-driven, the other is market-proven and globally competitive. The policy choice here should be obvious: Canada must either adjust its EV tariff position toward China or carve out exemptions to protect agricultural exports. Beijing has made its expectations clear. This latest dispute is part of a broader pattern of trade isolation. In the past year alone, three major economies — China, India, and the United States — have imposed or escalated measures against Canada's agri-food sector. India has maintained tariffs on lentils and other pulses since mid-2024, the U.S. continues to levy higher duties on softwood lumber, steel, aluminum, and certain agricultural products, and CUSMA disputes are adding non-tariff friction. The lesson is simple: Canada is more geopolitically isolated today than at any point in recent memory. Our agri-food sector is being used as collateral in unrelated industrial policy fights. Unless the federal government recalibrates its trade strategy, Canadian farmers will keep paying the price for political decisions made far from their fields.

GreenFirst Forest Products Inc (ICLTF) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Record Production ...
Release Date: August 13, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points GreenFirst Forest Products Inc (ICLTF) achieved the highest production in company history with 1,160 million board feet, significantly reducing manufacturing costs. The company reported a strong sales volume of 110 million board feet, despite market uncertainties. GreenFirst Forest Products Inc (ICLTF) is actively working with the federal government on a $1.2 billion industry support plan, which could benefit the company. The company is implementing strategic capital projects, including a new saw line and cogeneration plant, expected to improve cost structure and profitability. GreenFirst Forest Products Inc (ICLTF) recorded a significant safety improvement, reducing the recordable incident rate by 50% compared to 2024. Negative Points GreenFirst Forest Products Inc (ICLTF) reported a net loss of $9.6 million in Q2 2025, with an adjusted EBITDA of negative $5.2 million. The company faced higher costs of sales due to inventory adjustments and increased SG&A expenses. Market uncertainty, including increased tariffs and duties, negatively impacted demand and pricing. The company is subject to a higher duty rate of 35.19% for Canadian shipments to the US, which could increase costs. Despite production records, the financial benefits have not yet been realized due to timing differences in cost of sales. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with ICLTF. Q: What are the company's thoughts on the recent announced duty increase from 14.4% to 35.19% for Canadian shipments to the US, and what will be the impact on the business? A: Michel Lassard, President: The increased duty rate is concerning, but historically, most of these costs have been passed on to the end consumer, increasing housing costs in the US. We are exploring different market opportunities and hope for a resolution soon, as the Canadian industry has already paid $7.5 billion in duties since 2017. Q: Can you talk about current demand and pricing trends? A: Joel Fournier, CEO: Prices decreased in Q2, but recent duty rate announcements have led to an increase in lumber futures. Despite uncertainties, we shipped 110 million board feet, driven by strong relationships with home centers. Competitor mill curtailments may reduce supply and pressure prices upward. Q: Why don't we see the benefits of record production in the financial statements? A: Peter Ferrante, CFO: The majority of lumber sold in Q2 was produced in the prior quarter, so those production costs are reflected in Q2's cost of sales. We expect the benefits of Q2 production to reduce costs in Q3 as we sell that inventory. Q: Can you provide an update on the CapEx related to the Shale large log line project? A: Joel Fournier, CEO: We are installing a new large log line, planar mill, and cogeneration plant at the Shale sawmill. This will significantly improve profitability and cost efficiency, replacing a 40-year-old line with new technology, including AI. Q: Why is GreenFirst subject to a higher 34% duty compared to 22% for smaller players? A: Michel Lassard, President: The duty rate is an average calculated from selected major lumber producers. GreenFirst, like other companies, receives this average rate. Q: What is the company's plan if Section 232 tariffs are imposed? A: Joel Fournier, CEO: We have prepared scenarios for potential tariffs and paused half of our $50 million CapEx to maintain a strong balance sheet. We are also exploring international markets and local partnerships to diversify sales. Q: How would a quota system impact GreenFirst's operations? A: Joel Fournier, CEO: A quota could impact us, but we are preparing by developing partnerships with local consumers in Toronto to diversify sales. We aim to reduce reliance on the US market. Q: Will GreenFirst benefit from the Canadian government's $1.2 billion support program? A: Michel Lassard, President: We are pleased with the government's focus on the lumber industry and are in discussions to understand how we can benefit. We are ready to utilize available funds for projects once details are provided. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
