Stop Clearcutting

[midgetwaiter]

Things like this are a direct result of the Alberta PC party being in the pockets of large resource companies. Definitive action on environmental issues will not happen with the current government.

However, grassroots actions around things like that can make things happen. There was a significant amount of development around Sylvan Lake that was delayed because of a similar action recently. It's a good thing to be certain but remember that electoral change is the only was to ensure that you won't have to fight the same fight over and over. I admit that I am uninterested in the current opposition for various reasons but something needs to change.

Demon666, jobs aren't exactly hard to come by ATM, I wouldn't feel especially upset for those involved. I also don't think that anyone is advocating a complete halt to forestry operations in Alberta either. The major concern is that many people who will potentially be affected by this have not be notified of the changes or consulted on how to deal with the potential impact.
