In this hard-hitting solo episode, John Brink sounds the alarm on the collapse of British Columbia’s once-thriving forest industry. Once the backbone of countless communities, the province has now become a graveyard of shuttered sawmills, lost jobs, and broken promises.
Drawing on decades of experience in the industry, John unpacks how government policies, dwindling timber supply, and global competition have driven BC’s forestry sector to the brink of extinction. He also shines a light on the devastating human cost — from families uprooted to entire towns hollowed out — and calls for urgent action to save what’s left of this vital industry before it’s too late.
This is a raw, unfiltered message from someone who has lived the rise — and is now witnessing the fall — of BC’s forestry legacy.
