I am now, being very careful to buy only Canadian produce and anything else I can. The BC interior is worried about the soft wood lumber now; They will be livid when Campbell finishes giving away our forests. The timber licenses will not be tied to jobs. The companies will be free to export raw logs etc. We are being sold out again by Gordon Campbell. I have tried to get more information. Is he willing to sell our forests to foreign interests like he has our hydro. The Americans want our raw logs; is he allowed to sell our forest to interests outside of BC. BUY and SELL Canadian

Me too. I also wrote places where I have holidayed in the past (Las Vegas, Disney World, etc.) and told them why I'm not coming back. They deserve to know that they are losing money due to policies of their government.

I am also worried about Campbell's privatization schemes, but that's another subject.

Campbell's privatation schemes may be somewhat off topic but I think he will be allowing our unfinished logs (jobs) to be exported to the US. He is selling our assets or control of these assets outside Canada (hydro). This worries and aggravates me. I do not want US companies with control over our BC /Canadian assets. I would like the federal government to step in to ensure that control of Canadian assets remain within Canada.
