BC government acting tough towards Alberta and big oil. To turn around and chop all the fkn trees down to get in on high lumber prices. Also love this picture it represents such an important piece of our Canadian identity and done by so few. It's so strong that nobody can take that away, not even Ottawa. It's why we still have what we have.
2000 years old? The Roman Empire was at its peak when these trees were sprouting.
EDIT: Even if the 2000 year figure is inaccurate, and the 1000 year figure is more accurate - that's still insanely fucking old. We don't go destroying 1000, or even 300 year old buildings. They're given special status so that they cannot be destroyed. Why can't this be applied to something arguably more important, such as a tree.

What’s so important that they need to cut down these trees?
