From the Edmonton Sun:
Once again, serving up scenes of desolation and slaughteration...
"Greenpeace Canada has tried to paint a very grim picture of Canada’s forestry industry...these environmental militants have created yet another myth to push their anti-development agenda forward: that is, the woodland caribou is at risk of becoming extinct as a result of the logging industry’s destruction of its habitat."
...remarkably (but oh so predictably) at odds with the truth.
"according to the most recent inventory of the woodland caribou conducted by the Government of Quebec (made public last month), the caribou population has actually been thriving since 1999. The study, focused on the Saguenay Lac-Saint-Jean region where the logging industry is most concentrated, highlights that the caribou population has nearly doubled on a territory where 70 % of its habitat was disrupted by logging activities."
