I don't find it odd at all considering the Canola Council of Canada apparently has never heard of CPOW, "General Bio Energy", or "Clean Power Concepts".
I searched their site a week ago on both "general bio energy", "clean power concepts", and CPOW - and turned up nothing.
And yet now they're going to build a plant that would increase Canada's production by about 10%?
Really?
Neither has the Canola Council of Canada anything to say about "troy metz", however they do have one article about "shenher":
Biofuel partnership to open shop in Alberta - Canadian Green Fuels and Cansource BioFuels have announced plans to open a new biodiesel production facility in Mayerthorpe, AB. The new joint venture will be called Cansource CGF Mayerthorpe.
"This joint venture agreement will provide Canadian Green Fuels a link to expanding its production facilities outside Saskatchewan in a place that has an abundance of canola," says Michael Shenher, president of Canadian Green Fuels. The deal will see the construction and development of a community-based, integrated crushing and biodiesel facility to process 10 million litres of canola-based biodiesel. It will be scaled up to produce 40 million litres by 2010.
Canadian Green Fuels has also partnered with U.S. company AlgoDyne Ethanol Energy Inc. They plan to build and operate a fleet of retail biofuel stations in western Canada. For more, go to: http://www.algodynecorp.com

It does appear to me Reuters is being both generous and cautious - I see that is the 2nd update to the article.
Comparing the different updates should be educational.
