Western Forest Products is getting nasty...

It looks like all our senior citizens protesting against Western Forest Products logging foray into the Chapman Creek Watershed is getting on WFP's nerves. WFP got wind of this morning's plans to take a CBC reporter into the recent cutblocks and lo and behold if WFP didn't rouse its employees and make them set up their own logging road blockade. In addition, WFP invited the RCMP to watch the action. My source who drove into the watershed managed to avoid the blockade and escape with a warning but he wasn't certain what happened to those who went in on foot. He says the RCMP convoy included a 'paddy wagon' so it is possible the large group walking in were given an escorted ride out all the way to RCMP headquarters.

Apparently, our seniors were joined by much younger coastal residents this morning. At last! Our seniors have been carrying the torch on this issue and it is finally time those much younger step forward to help with this cause. Our seniors have set an incredible example for everyone. They have been willing to put their own security on the line for a something they believe strongly in and they have been fighting for all of us.

By the way, WFP's lawyers have been into this blog twice this morning. They are searching for something.
