The government's true agenda to have the forest industry including First Nations destroy the rarest-of-the-rare, at-risk, irreplaceable, large primary forests in British Columbia is nothing short of deliberate ecocide on a global scale.
No-one including First Nations has the right to destroy the remaining primary forests. All need inviolate protection.
Thanks to Ben Parfitt for exposing the NDP provincial government's double-dealing and duplicity on old growth and primary forests. We have long alleged government's shell game with conservation and protection ever since the first Old Growth Strategy in 1991. But we now have irrefutable proof.
Friends who have responded to me on reading Ben's story of government subterfuge have done so using words like: disappointing, distressing, discouraging. These are not the words that will have the government change course.
We need to write to our respective MLAs with strong words of outrage requesting the secret mapping project be terminated. Don't think about writing to your MLA; do it now. The provincial NDP must pay dearly for this deceit and for its betrayal of British Columbians.
P.S. I just wrote an email expressing outrage to my MLA and copied it to the premier Find your MLA's email address at this web link: https://www.leg.bc.ca/learn-about-us/members The premier's email address is premier@gov.bc.ca
