In this video, we break down the “double-dip” built into BC’s forestry system – how companies profit first from cutting public timber and then profit again by selling the logging rights, even after the forests are depleted. We explain why the AAC (Allowable Annual Cut) stays inflated, how licenses appear on corporate balance sheets, what happened in Mackenzie, and why communities keep losing while corporations walk away richer.
This is the reality behind BC’s mill closures – and the reason the New Forest Act is urgently needed.
