April 16: ‘Prime ministers, past and present, remain in power while proroguing parliament and abusing process.’ How healthy is our democracy? Plus other letters to the editor

: Indeed our forests should be sustainable and support a number of industries, as they have been through forest management in Europe and the United States. But a managed forest, even one that is not a monoculture, is not wilderness.

When I worry about declining standards of living for future generations, the thing I worry about is access to genuine wilderness. It’s difficult to imagine there will be any left.“Can we please agree that some forest harvest is okay?” We are talking about 1,000-year old cedars. The answer should be a resounding no.

Trees can be planted for later harvest; most modern lumber is from these regenerated woodlands. But they are not the aged giants of Canada’s temperate rain forests. Those will not regenerate, even if we could wait 1,000 years. A readiness to sacrifice old growth to encourage younger trees sounds like tending a crop. One of the lessons from First Nations, and anyone aware of the emerging global environmental crisis, is the importance of participating in natural cycles, rather than promoting human dominance.“Why don’t Canadians believe that those who write prescriptions for forest harvest act in the best interest of the forest?” It’s true that foresters strive to “make sure forests grow.
