BC should diversify from this boom and bust industry.

Harry! I’m surprised you don’t offer any “demand-side” issues here. Without this understanding this is only half the story.

Also the fact that a great deal of lumber is shipped off in its cheapest form and most of the jobs in the industry are concentrated in very large mills which provide fewer jobs than smaller mills. There is no insentive to build products of higher value here in BC. So we end up selling wood products in their cheapest form making huge amounts of money for a few mill owners and shareholders but leaving people who work in the industry with nothing.

I say stop cutting down the trees!! Climate change is a big deal! at least plant trees where you but them down. Also stop butting down ancient trees!

Well if the tree huggers should pay the tab because if they would have wiped out the pine Beatles at the coast they would not be almost in Quebec
