The Province
Residents and First Nations of British Columbia must not acquiesce to the B.C. Liberals’ agenda for privatizing rights to public timber on Crown land through the creation of more tree-farm licenses. British Columbians own 93 per cent of the forests in B.C., a commons without parallel for size and abundance of ecosystem wealth, almost entirely comprised of unceded First Nations’ land. The provincial government is the public’s trustee of this vast forest commons charged with administering and caring for it in the public’s interest — not in government’s interest or in private interests. But the B.C. Liberals have plans to reward their financial supporters.
