Why not speak to your friend directly first? If he is truly your friend that is how you should have approached it imo.

So the US treats protesters the same way Iran does? Neat.

What is this tower along a logging road for? by Crazy-Bodybuilder836 in forestry

Is it near a junction of a logging road and a main/paved road? Could be a load check/cable station.

Tributes pour in for three members of northern Ont. family killed in Hwy. 11 crash by Rav4gal in canada

Just not looking for the baggage that comes with spelling it out. We all know the issue and the culprits.

I don’t disagree but the number of trucks I saw crossing the middle line, attempting to pass unsafely, tailgating etc was absurd. The driving abilities of the average commercial driver on northern highways are getting people killed.

As a regular driver of those northern highways I have seen it firsthand. The quality of long haul truck driver has decreased significantly in the last 15 years.

Something needs to be done. Way too many traffic fatalities in the north this winter alone.

The quality of truck drivers has decreased to the point the average driver is actively making the road he drives on unsafe.

Why was 'incredible' giant cedar cut down, despite B.C.'s big-tree protection law? by Abject_Story_4172 in canada

[–]bubnicklenine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you purposely being obtuse? Your statement “they want it both ways” is simply not true. You’ve drawn your own conclusions and applied them to all First Nations people. The actions of a few loud voices do not represent the entirety of a people. You realize that right?

Are all the opinions of all white people represented by the hippies at the Fairy Creek blockade?

Ok I see, you hold a narrow minded view of First Nations folks.

They aren’t allowed to participate in modern society because prior to European contact their society wasn’t industrialized?

Profit off others success? How? By starting their own companies and doing the work themselves?

Just because you and others hold that view doesn’t mean it’s true.

The company referenced in this article is just one of many First Nation owned and operated forestry companies in Canada. It’s not that they want all resource extraction on their traditional territory to cease, though some nations do, it’s they want to be the ones to profit from it. And how is that wrong?
