They are in Nova Scotia I know. I think they have been faultering there though like all the other foreign outfits. It sold all it's NA paper Mills in 2007 to Ohio-based NewPage Holding Company for $2.52 billion.

Once again, another foreign mill asking the public to take the hit to increase their bottom line.
