End of the road for Fergus show
FERGUS, ON - After more than 30 years of showing and shining, Ontario's Fergus Truck Show has come to an end. In a Facebook note posted last night, organizers announced the show ceases operating immediately and will not host future events. "The Board of Directors would like to sincerely thank all of our volunteers, attendees and drivers that have come through our gates for the past 30+ years. It is with the utmost of gratitude and appreciation that we thank you for your support over these past years," said the note, which also thanked the groups individually.
Exports and imports rose in December
OTTAWA, ON - Canada recorded a trade surplus for the second consecutive month in December, with exports up 0.8% on the strength of higher energy products, and imports up 1%, largely on increases in aircraft and industrial machinery, Statistics Canada reports. But in terms of volumes, exports were down 1.4% because of drops in metal ores, non-metallic minerals, motor vehicles and parts. Import volumes were up 0.4%, based largely on industrial machinery, equipment and parts.
