"Our trees have more rights than your trees"

Proceeds to buy imported wood....

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

A small Canadian town has officially granted trees the status of living beings with legal rights.

Terrasse-Vaudreuil, located roughly 40 miles (64 km) west of Montreal, unanimously passed a resolution on June 9 declaring that trees possess “the right to life, natural growth, integrity, and regeneration.” The town is among the first in Canada to endorse the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Tree.

Mayor Michel Bourdeau credited the initiative in part to filmmaker André Desrocher, whose work helped shift local perspectives on trees from mere scenery to vital living entities. “A tree is like a human being,” Bourdeau told CBC. “It breathes, it lives, it takes in water. It protects us from all sorts of things.”

Facing repeated flooding in recent years, the municipality views trees as critical infrastructure. They cool urban areas, sequester carbon, purify air, support biodiversity, mitigate heat islands, and assist with stormwater management.

The resolution calls for a review of local bylaws to strengthen tree protection and ensure proper replacement when removals occur.

This step reflects the expanding global “rights of nature” movement, which seeks legal personhood for ecosystems, much like corporations already enjoy. A notable precedent in Quebec is the 2021 granting of legal personhood to the Magpie River by a regional government and the Innu Council of Ekuanitshit.

Advocates believe such recognition could reshape development decisions, enhance climate resilience, and transform urban planning. In Terrasse-Vaudreuil, the message is clear: trees are not simply property, they are living systems essential to human communities.

@manajampala I told Voxa to download a video from youtube in mp4 format.

Voxa told me to download it myself. 💀

@Andersonj2273 @StephenRuhe There's a way to do it and pay the driver more.

Setups like this usually increase service levels. Customers get the same drivers in every week. They pay more.

Everyone's happy.

My pop is from Arkansas though.

[Sean Mathews @semthews]

@TheGrandkansan @ItsJustCody94 @alekstb1 @carrierwhisper1 @trucker63068 Fleet managers typically go that route at larger carriers.

You aint getting me to sweep, smell, and gag on spoiling chicken if the error had nothing to do with me.

That's gonna sit in the trailer till the bottom rusts out.

Get me a new trailer or figure it out.

@Real_RoyGBiv @KobeissiLetter Isn't Urea #1 and not #2?

@freight_Dogs International strategy. Some holistic approach we'll never hear about.

How else do we pay for military bases overseas.

[Sean Mathews @semthews]

@JohnCokToastin @kidfreight The LTL class system exists for a reason.

If you dont like it, stick to partials.

[Sean Mathews @semthews]

@freight_Dogs @kidfreight I havent checked yet,

I can't imagine John A Rogers not knowing commodity matters. LDI would have educated him.

Some brokers do operate on FAK agreements with LTL carriers. Maybe thats why.

An FAK broker will never be the best LTL solution though.

[Sean Mathews @semthews]

@kidfreight LTL is priced based on weight, dimensions, and cargo risk.

Cargo risk affects frequency of insurance claims. A pallet of firewood is far less risky than a pallet of computer servers.

You are going to pay a lot more to move those computer servers LTL...unless you hide info.

@KE5WDP It's starting to sound like TPC is a net positive.
