Beverly Gingras believes @Gov_NB should create regulations to further protect the forests from practices that promote monocultures, thereby reducing wildfire risks.
“Forest co.’s are there to make money off creating these conifer monocultures." #Irvings cbc.ca/news/canada/new-bruns…
Stop Spraying NB continues to advocate for a third party investigation with no involvement of the province. Any real or perceived conflict of interest needs to be eliminated.

Yet ignoring the actual culprit ruining NB the local Irving oligarchy! Focus on stopping corporate capture and it will help on environment.

When the #Irvings say "jump", @Gov_NB says "how high?" Let's see how @susanholt reacts?
Irving Paper Ltd. announced it's shutting down half of its operations, blaming what it called “uncompetitive” industrial electricity rates in New Brunswick. #nbpoli theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
JDI not keeping its part of the deal outlined in the 2014 Crown Forest Management Agreement. Surely @Gov_NB will not allow JDI to export more raw product to be processed elsewhere?
#Monopolies are bad for #NB . #GreatResourceGiveaway
@susanholt @DavidCCoon @meganmitton
Irving Paper says it has permanently shut down 50 per cent of its operations due to New Brunswick's "uncompetitive industrial electricity rates."

Good to see the #StopSprayingNB issue mentioned in the throne speech: - Implement 2021 recommendations of the legislative assembly’s standing committee on CC & ES to increase restrictions on pesticide and herbicide use, including EXAMINING the banning of aerial spraying.
Liberal Throne Speech reiterates campaign promises — with one wrinkle on taxing power bills: cbc.ca/news/canada/new-bruns…
On what data (aside cull #s) are these claims based? Deer collar study by Graham Forbes and JDI never published. Funny that hunters know that there is a decline in the woods. Yes there are lots of deer in communities thx to habitat loss @CBCNB cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6…

But the good news is that if we can develop policies to store carbon, this will also be good for conserving habitat for declining bird species. @NatureNB @GlobalChangeBio @CBCNews @CPAWSNB @cc_nb nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

Natural climate solutions (often tree planting) have been proposed to fix climate change. But how good are managed eastern Canadian forests for sequestering carbon? Harvesting released about a third of all CO2 emissions from 1985-2020 in New Brunswick. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Forest harvest in New Brunswick is resulting in large carbon losses. But storing carbon can also help maintain habitat for declining bird populations. Please help us get the word out about this paper that is being largely ignored by the media: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Of course lots of visitors with new riding borders for #ElectionNB2024. Hopefully this does not discourage voters who are normally not that interested in voting.
You can also vote at electoral officrs until 8 pm SHARP

Wow, 21/2 weeks into the election a mention of forest herbicide spraying. The degradation of our public forests IS a huge issue for many voters. Have you seen our billboards, scattered across#NB?

Registered third padty #StopSprayingNB election billboard was taken down and carted off not sure to where from the Salosbiry Big Stop location that was a public right-of way as far as we knew! We need our $500 billboard back. Media contacted and contacting @ElectionsNB. #nbpoli

Nobody can convince me that heart attacks & strokes before age 50 are normal. I've been around for a long time. This is not normal.
Most of my doctor colleagues agree in private that something is very, very wrong, but they won't comment publicly.
The first #StopSprayingNB billboard is up!
This one is located at Gunningsville Bridge and Hwy 114.
This covers two ridings 👌🏼

@GreenPartyNB ’s sustainable forestry plan for Crown lands includes shared decision making w. First Nations, and the end of herbicide spraying.
It would also stop large-scale clear cutting to foster healthier & more diverse forests. #Glyphosate #nbpoli atlantic.ctvnews.ca/n-b-elec…
10 days into the #NBElection2024 period we see the first platform promis for the #StopSprayingNB issue!

A very encouraging campaign promise from the BC PC party for #BCElection2024 . If they can do this so should NB political parties during this #NBElection2024 campaign #StopsprayingNB conservativebc.ca/background…
@susanholt @DavidCCoon @premierbhiggs @NBLA_ALNB @GreenPartyNB @pcnbca
Hopefully a question addressing public (Crown) forest management including herbicide spraying. This issue matters to a lot if NBers especially those who live in rural communities. #StopSprayingNB
