"It’s appalling that this even needs to be said, but there's nothing patriotic or freedom-promoting about corporate price gouging — particularly when it comes to a dirty commodity that desperately needs to be phased out."

The BC NDP government promised a paradigm shift on old-growth.
No, that doesn't happen overnight. But it does require swift, brave action, and that is simply not being taken.

Internal communications provide a timeline showing that BC gov spent several days formalizing the approval of police resources to the Morice, just as the province was dealing with one of its worst climate disasters.

@peter_j_wood@JensWieting@standearth@jjhorgan@bcndp this is shameful and abhorrent. How any of you can get up every morning and look at your family and the citizens of BC knowing that you are allowing the destruction of the last of BCs old growth forests and the precious ecosystems they hold…#complicitinecocide
We saw the extreme tactics that Vancouver Island #RCMP were willing to inflict on citizens at #FairyCreek. What are the chances they'll apply similar to these characters who are threatening to paralyze an elected govt they don't like? Zero? https://t.co/MV8nFue3s7 #bcpoli
Decades ago, forests in BC absorbed huge amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. Its carbon sink provided an immensely valuable service.
Sadly, that's now gone. Instead, the forest has transitioned over the last two decades into emitting CO2. Lots of it. https://t.co/480keEE5oE
