Historic MHCA Curling Bonspiel a big hit; 26 teams tough it out for
Championship. A Event Winners: Wanless Geo-Point Solutions Inc.!
Since 1971, the MHCA has proudly hosted an annual Curling
Bonspeil; and while the location has changed over the years,
the spirit and commitment to fun has remained. This year's
Bonspiel took place at the storied Heather Curling Club, in
St. Boniface, and howls of delight, coupled with groans of
disappointment, kept all in attendance entertained.
The MHCA is grateful to all players who came out and
supported the event; as well, an event of this nature could
not be offered without the generous support of the many
sponsors.
Taking home the grand prize, A Event Winners (Sponsored
by The Inland Group) was Wanless Geo-Point Solutions
Inc. The team was made up of Darren Wanless, Linden
Swaenepoel, Taz Stuart and Steve Davis.
B Event Winners (Sponsored by Lafarge Canada) were
Bituminex Paving; the team was made up of Gerald Theroux,
Tara Baschuk, Russell Audette, and Lina Onmany.
C Event Winners (Sponsored by the MHCA) were Borland
Construction; the team was made up of Marcel Savard, Orest
Cesmistruk, Greg Paciorcha and Matt Holoka.

UAV / PHOTOGRAMMETRY / SURVEY SERVICES SCHEDULE
In addition to our regular survey & machine control services, WGPS is pleased
to offer springtime dates for UAV / Lidar / Photogrammetry Surveying Services.
Dates are available for the following so call and book early for your projects:
•
DRONE / UAV SURVEYS – Utilizing our UAV we fly
your project site or quarry for pre-construction records,
and quantities. We then can re-fly at a set project
interval or at years end for as-built, project progress,
and quantity purposes. The UAV records photographs
of the earth and the resulting photographs can be
stitched together into an ortho-mosaic model, which can
be converted into 3-D point clouds and images similar to
HD Laser Scanning but from a birds eye perspective.
•
IMAGING ROVER – Utilizing our V10 imaging rover, we
can provide 360o panoramic images of construction
sites. They can be used indoors and outdoors for all
types of projects and provide photographic records that
can be used to measure dimensions after the fact.
•
LIDAR – Using Aerial, Mobile and Terrestrial Lidar,
point clouds can be gathered for all types of projects.
MACHINE CONTROL TRAINING & CALIBRATION SCHEDULE
WGPS is pleased to offer winter and springtime dates for the following Machine
Control Training Services:
•
Machine Control Operators – In the classroom we go through the fundamentals of
system operations pertaining to file storage, operations and basic design creation.
Then in the field we go through the operations, perform measure-ups and calibration
procedures to ensure the systems are calibrated & ready (1 & 2 Day options)
•
Paving & Milling classes - In a classroom we go through the fundamentals of paving
& milling with machine control systems and how to properly configure and use the
system. Then in the shop, we perform a hands on training session with your paver and
ensure operators are fully trained in the systems operations and settings. We then revisit during first operation to ensure systems are running correctly (1 & 2 Day options)

Oil: Déjà-vu All Over Again?
By Peter Hall, Vice-President and Chief
Economist January 29, 2015
Or like the famous call a decade sooner than the last crash
– momentary $10 oil led to a famous and widely-quoted
declaration that structural factors were driving prices to $5
per barrel. Over-reactive predictions are probably the most
predictable part of large swings in indicators.
Another feature is the ‘permanent’ cancellation of projects.
They are gobbling up press lineage as we speak, inciting fears
of recession and fiscal red ink. Same thing following 2008.
And without a doubt, they have immediate and damaging
implications for the economy.
But, are they permanent? Not unless the plunge actually
persists. Subsequent price revival – even if only partial –
usually gets deal-makers back around the table. The carnage
is rarely as bad as feared in mid-storm.
Wild stormy weather stops us in our tracks. Factories close.
Offices are abandoned. School is cancelled. After the rush to
stock up, stores are shuttered. And when the storm hits, it’s
all we can think about – especially if the power goes out. It
can seem like an eternity, and can obliterate any pre-storm
memory. This sounds eerily similar to the oil price tempest
we are in the middle of right now. Today’s price seems like
the only reality, except that the plunge is still on. Are we
going to survive this thing? Can we ever expect a return to
calm?
Dial in to the news, and you’d be tempted to think not. It’s
natural that storms bring about their own brand of myopia,
but that’s when experience should make us wiser. And we all
have a lot of that to draw on. We only have to rewind back
to 2008 to see a very similar situation to today’s. Back then,
oil prices slid from well over $100 per barrel at the peak to
$40 at the trough, all in about 5 months. Currently, prices
are tumbling from just over $100 to just over $40 over a
6-month span. Just eyeballing the raw data, the similarity is
staggering. So are other key features.
Both episodes were preceded by positive predictions. Back
in 2008, fears that we were running out of oil led to very
believable predictions of imminent $200 per barrel crude.
Supply constraints in the 1970s led to very similar longerterm predictions. In today’s case, predictions weren’t as wild,
but in general forecasters preferred to believe that a return
to global growth would keep prices in the triple-digit zone.
Funny how diametrically wrong pundits can be, even with
a wealth of instructive recent experience. Both episodes
also produced pessimistic predictions. Ah, the clarity of the
ex post pundit: the 20-20 vision of events repeatedly recreates the illusion of equally crystal forward-vision. Credible
forecasters now see $40 oil persisting – just like they did in
2008, only to watch prices zoom up to $75.
So much for similarities. Are there contrasts? A key
difference between 2008 and now is that back then, the
biggest recession since the Great Depression was underway.
Currently there are worries about weakness, but the US
economy is growing gangbusters. Also, back then the
economy was highly dependent on policy measures.
This time, growth is more than self-generating. One more
point: back then supplies were very tight, then not. Now, we
believe we are swimming in extra supply, and we seem to
have forgotten that today’s surpluses could easily be soaked
up by resurgent emerging market growth.
What does history tell us? There are moments where sharp
movements persisted. The price hikes of the 1970’s were
with us a long time. The mid-1980’s plunge, credited with
ending Communism, was around until early in the New
Millennium. But those movements were driven by specific
structural factors.
Today’s plunge, influenced by recent supply, demand and
financial liquidity developments, is likely overdone; highfrequency hysteresis-hysteria for the moment seems to be
ruling the day. And perhaps the most important, yet oftforgotten instructive adage on current market mayhem is
that in the majority of cases, wild price movements set up
the conditions that architect their own undoing.
The bottom line? It’s hard to get a grip on reality in the
middle of a storm. History tells us plainly that better
weather is on the way. But in the clutches of its momentary
eternity, the storm convinces us that nothing else matters.
Oil’s recent rout is likely little different. If so, this too could be
a fast-forgotten moment.
