B.C. is logging its last old growth and protesters are trying to stop it

Vancouver Island’s old growth rainforests are among the rarest ecosystems on Earth and protesters are trying to stop the logging there.

The timing of the meetings — early last week — is notable because Trump was asked by NBC’s Tom Llamas on Wednesday about Paramount and Netflix’s battle for WBD, and he said, “I haven’t been involved.”
