In the past five years, we have witnessed the systematic dismantling of the BC Forest industry by greedy multi-national companies. These companies major goal is the exporting of the provinces last great natural resource, our forests. We see a BC government who appear intent on “selling the farm” and granting these same multi-nationals an almost free reign over our natural resources. If you doubt any of this, a quick look at the list of mill closures below tells its own story. This list represents permanent job loss for greater than two thousand people and more than double that in the spin off industries.
