Fairy creek was pretty much the last of the old growth forests on Vancouver Island (other than a small amount of parkland). That shit is never coming back, not for 5-10 generations, possibly not for a thousand years. And that’s only if the land is left untouched to recover (which it will not be). I have personally seen the devastation of the island in rural areas. Along the highways the forest is left in tact, but just a couple metres away it is entirely clear cut. They hide it from us because people would start to care if they knew the truth.

The benefit? Large sums of money for a few wealthy individuals. The leader who saw this through retired and is working for the forestry industry now. And the wood from these precious trees? Turned into guitars and other embellishments. An utter waste of a non-renewable resource. They could have logged any second-growth forest for this.

Never forget that it was the BC NDPs that did this — the supposed leftist, environmentalist party. Reformist politicians and the entire parliamentary system needs to be shed. Voting for them has never worked and never will work.

Gain some class consciousness.

Yeah that’s insane. Canada Post isn’t supposed to make money.

It’s not a supply issue — there’s enough empty homes in Canada right now to house every single person in this country.

This is a Canadian media source reporting on Canada. Do you have anything to add other than “other people do it so we should too”?

Me:

• criticizes NDP for no longer being socialist
• criticizes liberals and conservatives for being neo-libs
• dislikes the CBC for being their mouthpiece

You: “dumb cons lmao”

The NDP is not for the working class. In 2016 they removed all mentions of the word “socialism” from their party constitution. They saw an opening to go for the throat of the liberals so they can replace them. That’s what they desire. There isn’t an ounce of working-class spirit in the whole party. Most of their members are rent-seeking landlords (they have slightly fewer than the libs or cons) that desire personal profit over fixing Canada for the working class. Fuck the NDP (in its current iteration).

All three of our major political parties are neo-libs. There is no “both sides” because only one side is represented in politics in this country.

I shed no tears for the CBC. A single media outlet controlled by whatever political party is currently in power being sold off isn’t anything to cry about. Instead of 99% of our news outlets being corporate-owned, 100% will be. The CBC exists to make money, and has been that way since they started displaying ads next to content already paid for by the Canadian taxpayer.

Pollievre isn’t trump and he isn’t even the trumpiest politician we’ve had. The conservatives in power will be just as destructive for Canadians as the Libs, as all 3 of our major federal parties are pretty much the same thing. They’re all bought and paid for. We need a true party for the working class in this country.

I’ll end with this: Fuck Trudeau, put him in jail.

The Beaverton is a Canadian satire news site.

It’s satire.

Politicians have no interest in fixing this because politicians are landlords. Yes, even the NDP. It will never be fixed within our current political system. We can either continue around and around in our current, useless, reformist approach… or we can de-commodify and then nationalize housing.

Join a communist cell near you!

Burn the whole fucking system to the ground. You failed, Canada.

I refuse to believe that you’re this stupid.

Yeah, the method for those 8.1 bil to organize together to affect meaningful change exists already — it’s called countries passing laws to stop corporations.

In this specific incidence I guess it is the federal government’s responsibility 👏👏👏
