Ontario furniture makers co operate for mutual benefit

Its great to see Ontario furniture companies co-operating for mutual benefit. By contrast, BC furniture makers seem to operate in isolation, putting the industry in a very disadvantaged position. This seems to be the case at all levels, from one man shops up. Maybe we can learn from the Ontario experience and realize we have nothing to loose and everything to gain by working together.
