Yes, but only if the profits stay in Canada AND there is only selective logging, with no clear-cutting and a plan for regrowth.

We can have plots of land for logging with a good plan for regrowth. Respect the things that came before and should be able to live on after.

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.

We should look at more renewable materials as alternatives to logging. Logging should be done in renewable forests and old growth to be avoided as much as possible

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.
