Ross Sun, 04 May 2008 23:37:59 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20080503129553/local/news/shift-in-thinking-needed-coleman.html#comment-6402 What will become of our beleaguered forests? One year ago I was glad-handed into thinking that Canfor cared about the trees that they have spent millions of dollars and about 10X the amount of labour putting in the ground. I went to their Pre-Work Seminar in good faith. I knew it was a waste of time and likely a make-work project for the a-fore mentioned...But business is business... A month later, Lo and Behold! The corporate powers-that-be decided that there would be no silviculture contracts awarded. There goes half my yearly income... I don't want to bore everyone by playing my teeny violin (I can find other work) but what was the point? If I wanted a Candy Bar I could have gone pretty much anywhere without having to stick my hand in the air like some ritalin deprived six-year-old. Here is my point - a tree planted is just that (and only that). Would you put your vegetable garden in on May 21 and just let it go? No! Those plantations need t.l.c. as much as the average petunia bed (even more so) and that is where myself and my crew used to come in. We were the the weed-whackers (earning a living wage, native and non-native, alike). This senseless bottom line mentality (Canfor Pulp shows a profit) will only harm us is the long run. I am no B.Sc. but it seems sensible to nurture what we have left rather than rape it all and leave our Grandkids to pick up the pieces... - D.K.

So, I googled "coleman campbell developer land deals" and, lo and behold, if it didn't come up on goggle. Go figure. - Sojourn Sun, 04 May 2008 22:09:31 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20080503129553/local/news/shift-in-thinking-needed-coleman.html#comment-6394 Yes diversification is always a good idea. If they do it? - bcracer Sun, 04 May 2008 16:02:11 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20080503129553/local/news/shift-in-thinking-needed-coleman.html#comment-6373 Well, at least someone is starting to think we have to find more substantial markets than just the US. I have been saying that for years. Putting all your eggs in one basket in this day and age is just stupid. - MustBMe Sun, 04 May 2008 07:46:35 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20080503129553/local/news/shift-in-thinking-needed-coleman.html#comment-6372 I would never say that Rich Coleman or Gordon Campbell are liars. But I don't believe one thing that dribbles out of their mouths - bcracer Sun, 04 May 2008 07:15:05 +0100
