 When I hear governmental officials talking about the unspoiled wilderness of BC, I think of it like a kind of "virtual wilderness", the only thru roads are owned by logging camps, so it's a kind of "trust us it's there" type of wilderness, people can't get there and so ought to take their words for it. But you need just sail north and not follow the ferry lines to find that all mountain-sides look like: <image of a clearcut mountainside> 15 comments
 @neauoire et ce post du Narwhal aussi est pile sur le sujet (défense du territoire) https://mstdn.ca/@thenarwhal/110033912473620677 Je joins aussi la video de la journaliste (Nov 2021), ça fout les boules

@klardotsh wow, so they didn't even bother pretending to care by keeping the highway side forest? wow.

@neauoire yes, they’ve been pulling this scam for my whole life! I remember the carefully protected highway corridors in Oregon and Washington State; hiding miles of clear cuts.  “Beautiful BC” is as believable “Trustworthy Conservative” - only the willfully blind can believe such misleading and dishonest slogans @neauoire Yeah, as much as I hate google, google earth is a good way to see what BC *really* looks like. Apple Maps works as well. I don't know of any other well-updated satellite imagery apps. I remember taking a dirt road off of the Coquihalla in the early 90's. Headed over the first ridge, clear cut as far as the eye could see. Of course, from the highway, all you could see was trees… @neauoire I live in Germany now. Last time I flew back, in 2012, it was winter so everything was covered in snow.  @neauoire It's similar (but of course on a smaller scale) in Scotland, I mean it's considered wilderness from a British perspective, but all of it is known and owned and exploited. |

The only remotely green mountainsides to be found up there are where the indigenous folks were able to keep the colonizers out.
