It’s funny how the forestry industry gets a bunch of blame for clear cuts and other practices that reduce biodiversity and harm the forest ecosystem, while the government is simultaneously supporting them (by enabling mass scale harm to the province’s forests by showing old growth logging and dumping planes full of herbicide on native species too promote less diverse forests) and gets seen as the answer to reeling in the industry’s excesses.

“The end goal of all of these strategies is to grow a high density pine plantation that in the interior of B.C. is the most flammable forest type we could probably grow.”

We should make private multi-story dwellings out of that medium. It’ll definitely be safe from some guy forgetting about lit candles or active stove-tops.
