BC has been subsidizing a largely US lumber industry for decades via low stumpage rates (royalties) & more, yet the companies keep closing mills because they've cut virtually all the old growth, & also their plantations in the US grow faster than the firetrap monocultures they replanted here #bcpoli

Look, there's a lot going on right now but our friend has been detained by ICE for 29 days now. It's a drop in the toxic bucket of fuck that we are all currently swimming in, but please don't forget about him and others like him who committed no crime other than being brown. His kids miss their dad.

I’m done with all the parties. I’ll vote independent if I have the option. I will no longer support parties that feign to align with my values.
