If I may….I’d like to comment over here where it won’t stir things up again.
“You don't like loggers? - you live in the biggest ugliest clearcut in the province! ... who do you think made that for you, liberal arts majors? ... but for loggers, you'd be huddled up under some old cedar snag right now, with the rain dripping down your neck [if a windfall hadn't nailed you first] ... ever try wiping your ass with plastic? ... which is not a sustainable practice, by the way, as plastic comes from non-renewable fossil fuels, ahem
The chinese do take a fair bit of our wood, lots of other resources, and they'll take more in the future no doubt, but it is a concern that they buy from us raw materials, and sell us finished goods .... we're exporting jobs when we let that happen, but 'twas always thus, we are hewers of wood, drawers of water [bottled only, if you please, no pipelines no tankers]”
One of your best, I am thinking.
Working now in the poly industry I am trying to figure out how to submit the wiping your ass idea to the marketing dept, wherever it is, and get some sort bonus out of it. It will be a stretch but give me something to aim for.
I remember standing on the slip at Port Alice wondering why they were loading logs in those ships, while they had a good man right there more than willing to shove them up into the mouth of the wood plant. Well perhaps I wax a bit poetic but even in the stupor I was in back then I was curious about the shipping of raw logs. Pity it still goes on I guess, but a sale is a sale.
We would gladly ship the equivalent here in AB-live cattle anywhere.
Poly is a value added product so some progress has been made….if a polyethylene facility can be considered progress. Finished products do involve a certain amount of pollution.
I am hoping the return of you and EC bodes well for ZND.
