Really greatwhite. We have sawmills and paper mills that been around for over a hundred year. The forest is still there and in better shape than ever. It’s a renewable resource that keeps thousand of Canadian employed.

True..but when you use the imagery of helping the environment planting forests in one photo op...then banning plastic and replacing it with paper bags and cardboard straws ...that is called hypocrisy.
Climate Barbie admiring a future straw..haha...

Actually in the 1970's + we were told to use plastic and save the tree's in fact I believe even Suzuki said it as well.
There was a lot more clear cutting back many years ago than there is now. Talking to a Forest crew up north on the weekend they rarely clear cut now. I cut in the woods in NS back in 1988 and we were just starting into so called Forest Management.
Yes Tree's are a renewable source but ecosystems are not and you cannot plant a mono culture forest and expect the same ecosystem that use to be there. In fact clear cutting up North had a large effect on the Caribou and still does.
Good example of innovative thinking by a Canadian company...use recycled plastics to create fuel.
Not word or a $ from the Liberal Environmental minster.

A pilot project in Whitby, Ont., is using technology to give plastic waste a second life by turning it into diesel fuel and gasoline.
The technology, dubbed the Phoenix, can convert single-use items like plastic bags and Styrofoam — items that would otherwise end up in landfill.
"Five tonnes of plastic can be converted into about 4,000 litres. And 4,000 litres can drive our whole fleet of 10 vehicles back and forth every day running 16 hours a day."
