Hello. I’m a freelance writer living in Winnipeg and was just wondering if you’re hiring any freelancers from outside of Alberta. I’ve written for several publications based in Winnipeg, but with a national audience. My last article focused on the trends in the trucking and rail transportation sector for Commerce & Industry magazine.

Please let me know if this is of any interest and I’d be happy to discuss in more detail and send you links to my work. Thanks!

Comment on Friends in Far Places by Abel Pagaling

Abel Pagaling — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:33:00 +0000

Good short article on finding the right staff. There are other factors that come into play when looking for a good staff such as 1) capacity for teamwork, 2) ability to adapt to change , and 3) reasonableness – a potential employee’s sense of right or wrong. These are all important. A very smart individual might be good for the position in the short term, but are they good for the company in the long term if they can’t adapt to change, or work with other staff and be a team player, or worse, has a tendency to behave in an unethical way. These are factors that must be considered when hiring an employee.

At the end of the day, an employee is more than just a staff of the company. An employee is a “part” of the company, like a finger to a hand. So selecting the right employee must be carried out carefully.

Comment on Wetaskiwin struggles to catch the economic recovery by Roxanne

Roxanne — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:20:47 +0000

Railside industrial park is a total mess as is such from most investments from Harvest.

Ron Aitkens has put the “Legacy” investment in Calgary area in to what is called CCAA. Basically they don’t want to go Bankrupt , because that would mean that the investors could sue.

And sue they should. It looks like a substantial amount of the funds for that project were misappropriated and used for purchasing assets un related to the project. In the case of Legacy they purchased some lands in panama, parts of another shopping mall and some land in ontario… all of which the investors had no say in.

i have seen this link on a few blog threads so far, but it points to the “affidavit of Ron Aitkens” where on page 6 he admits to the court that he has infact taken money out of the Legacy project and puts it into some other projects such as PAnama.

This is great news for Chinese people to explore other parts of the world and also great for Canadian coffers who will gladly welcome the Chinese with open arms.

@ Lynn Li – if you liked the blue sky’s and pure fresh air in Canada, you will love Bonny Scotland. If you ever get the chance to visit my home country take it with open arms. Its a strange world, you guys in China want to experience countrysides like ours and Canada’s and yet, I would love to experience what its like in Chinas industrial areas.
