And therein lays the conundrum. "Controlling logging" Always is subject to both legal and political manipulations (as we've witnessed in the past as well as the present). And considering that the makeup of the soil "doesn't count" in the fibre content (see letter above), the only real way to control logging is to ban it completely on a commercial level for the next century (at least).

Working on the notion of "Keep It Simple, Stupid" [K.I.S.S.] would it not be best for the next 100 years or so, to ban commercial logging completely?

And now Covid has been found in deer populations. I will leave finishing this thought up to "deer" readers.......

Perhaps a more practical application of wood by-products would be "glue-lam" construction materials, which could utilize a larger minority of these "waste products"?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glued_laminated_timber

Has anyone stopped to think about what the trees that are cut, are used for? Or is that not a consideration at all?

I interpreted Pacheedaht Bill Jones general comments to mean (paraphrased) "no old growth logging - for now". But definitely not forever. With that in mind, the question is: will the Pacheedaht get back into logging old growth by contracting out (say to Teal Jones), or will they cut the trees themselves?

I do not know of Victor Peters stand on felling old growth. I do know that Bill Jones is in favour of logging them, according to a Narwhal article....

Could this be a "bright side" - in that those suffering from PSSD are among the first people to begin the long task of reducing earth's population to livable levels?

Before these vaccines were put on the market, the covid numbers began escalating into the thousands per day. Now, post-vaccine for most Canadians, the covid numbers are escalating into the thousands per day. I'd say this is indicative of the ineffectiveness of the vaccines - and ranting that it is "fault" of so-called anti-vaxxers cannot be applied, as we were ALL "anti-vaxxers" when there was no vaccine until relatively recently. So - tell me how the current crop of "anti-vaxxers" has in any way affected the increasing covid numbers.
