Chemical warfare...right in our own back yard and our government allows it and is OK with that.
Let that sink in.
NDP said they would even phase it out. But not on table or plans to do so.
Finally the BC Government has uploaded their maps of their chemical warfare campaign against the public of BC from last year.
This was an FOI request that they responded to after the spraying was completed and which they never provided digital copies for, just mailed paper copies (The operating system I have on my computer is apparently too old for their data portal and they refused to simply email me the PDF). This digital package was supposed to be uploaded to this open access page last November. It was only uploaded two weeks ago. You can find it here:

It is worth repeating that the Ministry of Environment, who manages these records, refuses to release these to the public prior to spraying. If you request these files before the spraying happens, nobody is obligated to give them to you. If you request these maps from the companies doing the spraying, they are not obligated to give them to you. If you ask for these maps during the Pest Management Plan consultation period, the companies are not obligated to give them to you nor are they obligated to promise to give them to you. The government's chemical warfare campaign against the public of BC is carried out behind closed doors and with great secrecy and the only way you can get these records is after the fact through either the Freedom of Information Process that requires time and money, or through hiring a professional to analyze silviculture records in subsequent years. They don't want you to know what they plan to spray beforehand because they don't care about you or your safety or your environment. It's our dirty little dark secret we do in the name of "sustainable forest management" to satisfy the billionaires and their brainwashed minions.
Lots sprayed in the Discovery Islands, around Harrison Lake, a little bit in the Fraser Canyon, and northeast of Prince George.
For example all these little purple areas are the places Timber West sprayed with glyphosate and tricoplyr to kill off the fire-resistant deciduous species in the Discovery Islands, spraying my buddy's historic trapline without even notifying him. Even after we put in a complaint to the BC Ombudsperson, who failed to take any action, they still sprayed his trapline.
Looking forward to the international media making headlines about how the Canadian government is in effect waging chemical warfare against it's own citizens.
