No, that's not logical, perhaps you misunderstand the situation - what is designated working forest here will remain working forest, what is designated park will remain park, none of these boundaries are likely to change unless your FOs are successful in stimulating a fire sale of the entire province, in which case the salmon able to get through the maze of alaskan nets would be in the same position as their Columbia River cousins, wouldn't they
We compare very well on environmental record with the US states adjoining our independent nation, when they attack us on the question they're just blowing smoke up the public ass, of course this may work well for the purpose for which they intend it, a delaying tactic to extend the period in which they hope to impoverish us
We do have two areas that shame the species, this is true - two massive clearcuts obscenely covered with asphalt and concrete and plastic and steel, within which roughly two and a half millions of population mill around to ensure that nothing economic or natural or truly beautiful can grow as they spout their self-righteous proclamations of the sins of us normal people living outside their abomination, the larger of these is called Vancouver, and the smaller Victoria .... however, even combined their total wasting of the planetary surface is eclipsed by that of the hideous and unbelievably extensive blot on the human record that stretches between Edmonds and Olympia
So no cigar, chamaco, sorry ... i do have the odd thought on the question though, so when this 'commerce' department threat on my province is successfully beaten back i'd be more than willing to discuss other questions, got a story or fourty-six to tell on forestry, i've been involved in it in a number of widely separated areas on this sporadically wooded sphere .... at the moment though, the threat from outside is clear and present danger to all here, and in defense against it i find myself in abnormal alliances, which is not the smallest of reasons why it pisses me off ...... cheers |
