  • A Brief History of Early Northeast Brainerd
    A Brief History of Early Northeast Brainerd by Ann M. Nelson June 18, 2016 Introduction For over a century Northeast Brainerd was the industrial center of the city of Brainerd; its industries provided work for thousands of people and drove the prosperity of the city. These industries were the economic engines that kept Brainerd alive, the salaries of their workers fueled the city’s business district and increased the fortunes of many of its citizens. The history of Northeast Brainerd could not be told without a description of the Northern Pacific Shops, Schwartz’s Brickyard, the Dam, Lumbermen’s Hospital, Brainerd & Northern Minnesota Railway Company, Brainerd Lumber Company, Minnesota & International Railway Company, Electric Streetcar Company and the Northwest Paper Company. Prominent, also, is the history of the Ravine Bridge and Fill, Lum Park and Evergreen Cemetery, the resting place of so many Northeast Brainerd pioneers. Northern Pacific Shops In August 1870 the Northern Pacific Railroad finally decided where the crossing of the Mississippi River was to be made; that location was at a point about seven miles north of Crow Wing in a space of wilderness populated mostly by Native Americans, jack pine, Norway and white pine. Immediately upon that announcement hundreds of people, mostly white men, descended upon the wilderness and began to build the town which eventually became known as Brainerd. In January of 1871 there were about 1,600 men working on constructing the railroad from the Junction (Carlton) to Brainerd and the tracks were about twenty-eight miles east of the city. On March 6 the Northern Pacific was completed from Carlton to Brainerd; on March 11 a special train carrying the officials of the railroad arrived in the city; by the end of March trains were running into Brainerd on a regular basis and in September the first regular passenger train arrived.

  • Telling the Story of Globalization, Neoliberalism and the Call Centre Industry in New Brunswick
    24 Telling the Story of Globalization, Neoliberalism and the Call Centre Industry in New Brunswick Joan McFarland St. Thomas University Résumé Au Nouveau-Brunswick, au début des années quatre-vingt-dix, le gouvernement libéral de Frank McKenna a opté pour la mondialisation et le néolibéralisme, en créant un secteur de centres d’appels. Ou, du moins, cela semblait constituer l’adoption d’une stratégie de mondialisation néolibérale. Sauf qu’un examen plus approfondi des propos tenus alors met en lumière une position très particulière envers la mondialisation néolibérale – celle d’une province démunie ayant recours en dernier ressort à cette stratégie de développement économique. Vu l’intérêt récemment porté par les chercheurs à la diversité des significations et des implications de la mondialisation et du néolibéralisme, le cas du Nouveau-Brunswick constitue un point de départ particulièrement intéressant à une réflexion sur ces débats. Abstract In New Brunswick, in the early nineties, the Liberal government of Frank McKenna embraced both globalization and neoliberalism in the creation of a call centre industry. It seems a classic case of the adoption of a globalization and neoliberal strategy. However, further examination of the discourse of the period shows a very particular positioning vis-à-vis globalization and neoliberalism. It is one adopted by a ‘have-not’ province as a kind of desperate economic development strategy. Given recent attention in the literature to the various meanings and implications of globalization and neoliberalism, the New Brunswick case gives a particular vantage point from which to reflect on these debates. Telling the Story of Globalization, Neoliberalism 25 and the Call Centre Industry in New Brunswick Introduction In New Brunswick, in the early nineties, the Liberal government of Frank McKenna embraced both globalization and neoliberalism.
