Turns out that all of those road signs that announce new government projects are erected with lumber from Oregon. In the context of our forestry crisis this is shameful and unacceptable.

  • BC Liberals don't care about BC Jobs. Lumber for signs may seem like a small thing, but its symbolic of what they are doing to BC - selling it off to private, foreign interests. Our land, our healthcare, our rivers. Once its sold, it's gone forever.

  • We use zinc coated steel posts here in Ireland. Much more durable for our climate of rain :p

  • Reuters

    Forestry Minister Pat Bell believes the province can sell as much as 5 million cubic metres in 2011, although he expects the growth rate will tail off a bit from what was experienced in the fourth quarter of 2010.Forestry firms in the western Canadian province shipped 4.6 million cubic metres of softwood lumber products to China in 2010, a 76-percent increase from 2009, according to figures from B.C.'s Ministry of Forests, Mines and Lands.

  • I hear the BCLibs had other kinds of help from the USA... :-)

  • 2nd worst economy in Canada? Please provide us with more details on that. Give me the source and specifics on that.

    Because I believe you're full of shit. I'll await your response...

  • And with Gordons 8 years, we have the second worst economy in Canada... No accountability... HAH. Where is the accountability with Gordon Campbell? I think it got deleted with the emails or maybe is in evidence from the legislature raids? He is a liar and is not accountable to the people of BC. He does as he pleases, because people are still mad enough at the NDP that he does not have to have accountability.

  • NDP had 10 years, we ended up with the worst economy in Canada. The economy pays for all the things we need, health care, etc. I'm sorry I'd rather not make the NDP in charge of it again, they are like irresponsible teenagers with credit cards, no accountability.

  • Because people have their head in the sand about Campbells lying and corruptness. Campbell gets to stay in office because people hat the NDP so much they have no choice. Campbell is pissing off a lot of people though, and if the BC Conservatives get themselves organized for the next election, they may take enough votes away from Campbell that the NDP could win.

  • We really need a government that will support the people of BC. That is not happening right know We need a NDP government!!

  • If it's as bad as you say why have the people spoken 3 times? Maybe you should stop complaining and start living. Typical NDP'er.
