There is a significant percentage of Canadians who wish to be American. I’ve known several. I don’t understand it. I’m expat American.

This is very disappointing. Heather would be establishment NDP offering nothing new. She would likely support the proposed pipeline being shoved on BC. In the debate all she offered was platitudes and slogans, no policy. Avi provided policy, had some french (which is sadly very important), and is the only real progressive candidate to date.

“Porcupine their countries”, I really like that.

Not particularly. There used to be conditions for getting access to tree farm licenses. Any wood you cut had to be processed within something like 200 km. I’m guessing but probably Gordon Campbell eliminated that condition.

 

A freighter loaded with Canadian logs in Nanaimo today. I know this has nothing to do with Carney, but this is not nation building. I also know it is complex. But would it not be better to load that freighter with finished lumber rather than raw logs?
