NDP to forestry industry,” learn to code”.
“B.C. forestry decision will cost thousands of jobs and devastate communities,” read the headline on the media release Wednesday from the United Steelworkers Wood Council, representing 12,000 forestry workers in B.C.
“Learn to code” … needs updating to: “Learn to Amazon Warehouse”
Learn to box-it … and ship-it.
Brought to you by the NDP supporting unions.
In the spirit of “cancel culture”, the expression “fundamentally transform” should be banned from the English lexicon. Nothing good happens when “our betters” put in motion a “fundamental transformation”.
Ronald Reagan, updated.
9 scariest words in the English languge:
We’re from the government and we bring fundamental transformation.
FedUp, you are so right.
The constituents never ask for “fundamental transformation” which is bureauspeak for FUBAR.
Like Trudeau & Quebec kicking Alberta oil, gas, coal in the nutz, Horgan disrespect to FN loggers, is it any wonder our “elected leaders” only look after themselves.
But they’ll keep cutting BC trees and converting them to pellets, to be burned in the Drax (the Destroyer) power plant in the UK. Because carbon emissions from wood burning are meaningless, if you can convince your government to agree to that.
At this point, the climate nutter bullshit is so deep, it has to be influencing the earth’s orbit.
My comment in the Sun:
At least 20% of ecologically functioning old growth is already protected by parks and reserves and areas netted out of the timber harvesting land base due to environmental and operational imperatives. The 2.6 million hectares represents close to 10% of the provincial timber harvesting land base which will have significant socio-economic impacts on people, communities and the province. If BC were not handicapped with Crown tenure this moratorium would represent a market-based value of 6 to 8 billion dollars, if privatized. The US funded greens that paid the protesters have likely spent less than one tenth of one percent of that to get their way with the apparently urban, white-collar owned and operated NDP. What is truly amazing is that anyone in any resource job in BC would support such a regime.
Twenty years from now, with those forests loaded sky high with fuel, the forest fires will be the worst ever. And instead of blaming it on environmental protection policies, they’ll blame it on global warming.
Beat me to it
I’ve said for years, the goal of the NDP is to turn BC into a giant park.
The USW (IWA) is a shadow of its former self. The new NDP base is all the government unions, they vastly outnumber the redneck unions today.
The NDP is tone deaf to rural communities and needs. There’s 2 provinces, the Coast, and the Interior, with the Coast mostly Commie

I noticed that when I was at UBC more than 40 years ago. Being a conservative in Lotusland at that time, I may as well have had a “Kick me” sign on my back.
I’ve often called BC a microcosm of Canada, with one large urban area acting as overlord.
Hey BC NDP, let’s stop all mining AND the use of all metals.
People can live in tents.
Don’t worry, the BC government will just raise taxes on the “rich” to make up for the shortfall in revenue.
HAHA!
Steelworkers push for the NDiPPers. Then the NDiPPers bend them over the nearest tree stump…….
Don’t like Alberta oil?
A case for schadenfreude.
Applicable to the socialists rather then the population, in case the population is with the government, schadenfreude applies.
Yeah, this was easy.
Hey wood industry workers, your union leaders worked you over like fng rented mules. A day late and a dollar short in my opinion. I’m looking at B.C’s federal election map and it’s pretty clear what side of the ledger you guys are on. It’s high time people did away with the “NDP are for the working man” myth.
But in the meantime, enjoy. You’ve earned it.
Suckers.
Every single Dipper I know is a flaming hypocritical midwit who considers himself above anyone who doesn’t share his unreasoned, ill considered, idiotic progressive garbage. Dipper women are all that and butt ugly too. The only thing they have going for them is abortion, as in it keeps progtards from reproducing.
Dipper women are all that and butt ugly too.
I have to agree with you on that point.
During my freshman undergraduate year, I was besotted with a certain young lady. It didn’t work out between us and we headed off in different directions. (Good thing, it later turned out.)
Every few years, I might hear something about her and it seemed that during that time, she had become horribly progressive, probably even communist. She even rubbed shoulders with people high up in Rachel the Rancid’s government.
In one of the last pictures of her I came across, she not only had lost the looks that charmed me years before, she adopted a dykey haircut. After seeing what became of her, I was glad that she dumped me back then, though it didn’t seem so at the time.
God is good, and it occasionally takes decades to realize it.
Let’s leave no fur coat unturned either. Mink farms, with attendant jobs, in BC are to be shuttered in four years or so, because Covid. ( If the vaccine works so well, maybe it would work on mink too. NO? Oh…..)
But hey, mink is for the rich so it doesn’t matter.
Thanks Mr Horgan.
They can’t shut down mink farms! What will Dear Leader wipe his butt with if there aren’t any mink pelts available?
Another vital precursor of Western Independence.
For outside of the Lower Mainland and Southern Island, BC has no voice.
The productive wastelands are a natural fit with an Independent Western Nation..
Sure solves that “landlocked” argument.
As for the Never Done Paying..they are living proof how effective “Public Education” really is.
Innumerate citizens voting against their own self interest,to reward career parasites.
BC is a showcase.
Eastside Vancouver their best work.
How many Canadians have been alive long enough or are intelligent enough to have seen this same shit show before?
Do they know that trees get old and die? We should just let them fall down and rot.
They also killed the mink industry; covid.
