“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical. And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”

Excerpt:
"Before talking a bit about where the opportunities lie to strengthen the hands of resource-dependent communities through forest policy changes, I thought it would be instructive to look at two events that occurred in and around one community in BC’s Interior earlier this year. The community is Quesnel. And the events capture, I think, why more community tenures are required in BC and why the province should be thinking far more carefully and creatively about how it allocates publicly owned timber in the months and years ahead."
