OPTIMISM * Canada - Economic winds to blow west? Execs think so
Next Stop Recovery? Westerners say they'll be ready when freight economy bounces back
Fort McMurray,ALB,Canada -Today's Trucking -16 Feb 2009: -- While many transportation leaders are less than enthusiastic about the current economic climate, westerners, being westerns, are already eying the future and are planning how to hit the ground running when things do turnaround. But is its infrastructure ready for it?... The ability to respond to economic stimulus will largely rely on the quality of the infrastructure system enhancements being put in place. Just ask anyone using the roads in Fort McMurray, Alta., what can happen if infrastructure lags behind economic growth... At a recent conference hosted by Westac, there was general agreement that when the economy does rebound, it will likely be different growth than in the past; but a turnaround nonetheless... So, back to the question: Does Canada's transportation system -- and the West's particularly -- have any game? Even though there's still work to be done, there seems to be a "bring it on" sense of optimism around all modes of transportation...Labels: trucking's optimism
