Yes, only if the profits stay in canada by being used by canadian companies or state run industry, with plans for regrowth and no clearcutting, trees are necessary, both for our economy but also for our climate.

The definition of old growth to be older trees, and there should be selective logging and no clear cutting

 @9LJGNWT from British Columbia  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, through selective logging and forest regeneration AND secondary and tertiary manufacturing within Canada. Sending ANY logs overseas or out of country for processing elsewhere is bad... but so are the closed shop union businesses that cannot be profitable compared to non-unionized production elsewhere.

No, there are many alternative wood-engineered products that are now available that do not rely on the size/quality of old-growth lumber. Old growth lumber is used primary for cosmetic / vanity and should be banned from use. Furthermore, most old-growth logs are exported so they may be sold for the highest proffet, benefiting the seller, not the community in which the old growth forest was removed.

Yes, but only selective logging, no clearcutting, and a plan for regrowth. The profits should also only be within Canada.
