I mean, if a right-wing politician from Prince George is saying this stuff about B.C.'s forestry sector, I think we should listen.

Here is the whole interview, which is well worth a listen:

Another inconvenient truth from Mr. Morris:

"Forestry is *costing* us money ... if we look at the damage we have to pay for the floods and the fires and the loss of life."

👀 Mike Morris, former BC Liberal MLA and former Parliamentary Secretary for Forests:

"We have so badly overcut ... I don't think we [in B.C.] have enough forests left to provide wood to our domestic market, let alone export." 🌲💀

"Eby says it is 'totally absurd' that European and Russian timber are receiving preferential access to the United States, while that country charges tariffs of up to 45 per cent on Canadian timber"

While it’s nice to hear from the public, their uninformed opinions on how and where logging should take place really should not be the basis of BC's forest policy

FORSETH - Ravi, instead of worrying about 'landscape' planning, how about you ensure BC’s sawmills have the timber they need to operate
What ever happened to the professionals deciding on forest cuts and where they should take place
