B次元官网网址� Proverb 4:7

Premier John Horgan should heed the supreme advice of Proverb 4:7. ItB次元官网网址檚 an unimaginable sacrifice, a betrayal of our sacred public trust, to allow the last stand of remaining, unprotected, intact ancient forest that pristinely blankets the Fairy Creek watershed to be logged.

For more than 150 years, forestry has been in the ascendant. Generation after generation of loggers feasted on natureB次元官网网址檚 providence. Forests filled to overflowing the coffers of our community chest. Less than three per cent of the ancient forest remains on Vancouver Island due to industrial scale, mechanized harvesting.

Government-issued tree farm licenses are still the accepted norm. WeB次元官网网址檙e scrapping over the last remaining pieces of the ancient forest. Crumbs will be all that is left. Imagine Teal Jones, the authorized tree farm licensee holder, as a heat-seeking missile, targeting Fairy Creek. BullB次元官网网址檚-eye! How much is a 1,000-year-old cedar tree worth? Do the math. Standing: priceless. Cut down: $40,000 to $50,000.

If corporations rue the day, thereB次元官网网址檒l be nothing left standing. The B次元官网网址渂lockadersB次元官网网址� preserving the last stands at Fairy Creek are the true guardians of the forest. The NDP? Mere puppet servants that kow-tow to their overlords, the corporate rule of law mindset pervading over our supposedly, not in conflict, non-prejudicial colonial court system.

Perhaps the New Democrat Party, in all its wisdom, could offer Teal Jones a land swap, or are we running out of Crown land, too?
