Brandonmeat packer thriving on its own

Abiola Odutola 3 minute read Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026

BRANDON — Canada Packers has strengthened its business and laid the foundation for future growth during its first year as an independent company, its president says.

The Brandon-based pork producer, separated from Maple Leaf Foods in October 2025, established its own leadership, strategy, systems, culture and identity while continuing operations across its hog production farms and regional hog barns in southern and eastern Manitoba.

The company’s first year was focused on building a successful standalone business while continuing to serve customers, communities and shareholders, president Dennis Organ said.

“Market conditions over the past year have been more challenging than we anticipated when we became a separate entity,” he said in an email. “Despite that, we continued to execute against our priorities, including increasing processing volumes, maintaining disciplined operations and strengthening the business.”

Keeping the lights on

Hal Turner 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Manitobans are hardy.

We live, work and play in one of the harshest winter climates in the world.

We’re used to the cold and the dark. We’re also used to escaping it by turning on the lights and the heat.

Manitoba Hydro’s responsibility is to make sure that works, no matter what and no matter when.

Hydro Québec faces issue we should avoid

Editorial 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

You might be tempted to call it a canary in an electric power generation coal mine.

But instead, it’s just another heads-up into the already-obvious problem with the proliferation of data centres.

This week, Hydro-Québec went before the Régie de l’énergie, Québec’s public utilities board, to change the rules for new and existing large data centres.

Now, it was not that long ago that Hydro Québec was actively wooing data centres — offering bulk power rates to be used to lure labour-intensive, power-hungry heavy industry (think aluminum smelters) with rates substantially lower than they offer Québec’s own residential customers. It was a way to use surplus power to create jobs and drive economic activity.
