When I was coming back from the island this September I ran into the massive logging industry convoy heading for Vancouver coming from Merritt. I grew up in a small logging community in eastern Ontario so I know the effects of an industry swing on the economy. I have a bunch of links I will try it post in a different format so all can read. Just about every mill on the coast and interior bc are curtailing production. The industry is being demolished with most investment going to the USA. Soon enough bc small community’s will feel what Alberta small community’s are feeling with the gas industry. The perfect storm is brewing in canada. I know there are guys on here that are in the industry. Some asses need to be punted to the curb. To put in into perspective on how these community’s roll the closest store to my place growing up sold pop and chips, chainsaws and hard hats. 400 sq/ft of retail space. When cutbacks happen it effects everyone in the community.
