@JustinTrudeau Oh great, so the trees will be ready to plant once we’ve already missed the 2030 deadline to reduce emissions! Meanwhile, let’s keep on clear cutting Canada’s old-growth forests, releasing massive amounts of biogenic carbon! Brilliant plan! 👏🤦🏼♀️😡
Dear @jjhorgan, @KatrineConroy, and the @bcndp,
Please defer logging in ALL at-risk old forests. Not in three years, not in three months. Now.
The world is watching 🌎 #OldGrowth#bcpoli

Please watch this important message and help protect Canada’s old-growth forests by signing the petition from @standearth here ➡ https://t.co/bIGh3qmuS7
Consistent w/ the 200,000 ha of "old-growth" that were "protected" in Sept & the 1,500 "groves" saved by the special tree regulation, @BCNDP is already also claiming Fairy Creek is "protected."
Until u actually PROTECT these areas thru legislation, please stop lying. @jjhorgan
@nathancullen I wish I could trust this news but I can’t. @KatrineConroy’s op ed is full of bogus statements and this feels like one of them. Why would Teal Jones still be road building if they didn’t have assurance they could eventually log the Fairy Creek headwaters?
It's official. BC Timber Sales can't be trusted to follow the BC gov't's inadequate rules for #oldgrowth protection & the BC government is incapable of holding them to account. The whole system is corrupt.

My op ed with @FiegeGary is about imagining a new future for BC’s forests & forest workers. But it requires the @bcndp to stop dithering & start showing real leadership. @jjhorgan: protect #oldgrowth now & deliver the economic transition plan u promised. https://t.co/3XLSVl8Ed5
#Ecocide may soon become a punishable offence in the ICC. IMO, the mass destruction of BC’s ancient & endangered #forest ecosystems should qualify. @jjhorgan@bcndp#bcpoli https://t.co/gxtgwcWKy5
@shawn73yuk @AncientForestBC It will never, ever have anywhere close to the amount of biodiversity in the understory, the soil, the canopy. Second growth forests will always be ecologically inferior to old-growth...even if they make nice places for deer for a decade or so.
There’s no time for delay tactics.
@BCNDP must move quickly to engage First Nations & expand logging deferrals in endangered forests & MUST commit significant $$ in Budget 2021 for Indigenous-led protected areas & conservation financing.
Pls share these images & tag @jjhorgan!
@JJhorgan & @BCNDP have promised action on #oldgrowth. Once Cabinet is sworn in tomorrow, they have 6 months to halt logging in the last remaining 3% of BC’s big tree #ancientforests.
