C’est raffraichissant d’entendre quelqu’un dire clairement les choses, sans tenter de m\u00e9nager les susceptibilit\u00e9s, les r\u00eaves, la ch\u00e8vre, le chou… Raffraichissant mais pas n\u00e9cessairement dr\u00f4le ! Si la logique \u00e9conomique transcende les diff\u00e9rences culturelles (parce que nous voulons que nos investissements et nos pensions rapportent le maximum), amenant l’inexorable concentration des centres de d\u00e9cisions… il nous reste quoi ? Le quartier des spectacles ? On se met tous \u00e0 danser la claquette !<\/p>\n

Sur un autre sujet, le m\u00eame journaliste du G&M, tra\u00e7ais r\u00e9cemment un portrait tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant : le poids des Finlandais dans le monde des foresti\u00e8res et papeti\u00e8res. Comparant le dossier canadien \u00e0 celui de cette petite nation innovatrice, il mettait en lumi\u00e8re certaines pratiques qui permettent \u00e0 ce petit pays se tailler une place disproportionn\u00e9e dans ce march\u00e9 : investissements et recherche; coop\u00e9ratives dans le domaine de la gestion foresti\u00e8re; concertation nationale des efforts…<\/p>\n

But our forest companies have frittered away every competitive advantage they once enjoyed\u2014mostly, it seems, out of laziness. (…) Canada’s forest industry, once the envy of the world, is now a laughingstock.<\/p>\n

(…) The average Canadian pulp mill has a capacity of about 200,000 tonnes; our newsprint mills average 280,000 tonnes. Compare that with the one million-tonne Finnish-owned mills that are either already operating or are being built in Latin America.<\/p>\n

(…) Metso, one of only three large-scale manufacturers of paper\u00ad\u00admaking machines left in the world, is also based in Finland. Canada has no paper machine makers. The world’s biggest man\u00adufacturer of the chemicals used in papermaking, Kemira, is also Finnish. Canadian-based chemical makers? None.<\/p>\n

(…) They drew on their so-called small-country advantage\u2014characterized by a homogeneous, highly educated population with a unique language (practically unlearnable, for a foreigner) and culture\u2014and took their place in a rapidly globalizing market.<\/p>\n

(…) Technically speaking, Canadians own their woods, too, but through their provincial and federal governments, which possess 93% of this country’s forests. (…) <\/span>In Finland, however, almost 60% of forest land is owned by about 400,000 families. Their plots are small, averaging about 35 hectares, compared to the hundreds of thousands of hectares typically covered by a single forest tenure licence in this country.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Finalement, peut-\u00eatre qu’il y aurait autre chose que la claquette ?<\/p>\n
