If anyone at Canfor starts squawking, mayor and council are welcome to remind them that there are other properties that could be seized.
Not even a head-cold nightmare could stop me from entering the fray after it was announced that Canfor was to close PG pulp. This is a betrayal of our entire community that has faithfully served the demands of lumber barons for decades. However, as our world circles the drain of late capitalism, it is not unexpected. Thankfully the solution to our crisis is clear and it also offers us a first step towards asserting the autonomy of Northern B.C.
We must also understand that our tools to correct Victoria or Canfor are entirely broken. Our MLAs were in government for most of the mismanagement that has taken place in our forests. Now our ridings are overshadowed by the population rich Lower Mainland, which means we will never have the influence necessary to change course. There is no chance of us owning majority shares in Canfor and strikes, legal or not, will fail to intimidate Canfor’s leadership.
Meanwhile, a deal will be struck directly with the union at PG Pulp to retain workers with the proviso that a certain makeup of the workforce must be Indigenous. These jobs in turn will help prosperity improve for band members, which will multiply new band-based businesses, cultural celebrations, etc. Eventually, it is not unlikely that the workforce will represent the true Western intersection from Timmins to Terrace: working class old stock and Indigenous peoples.
