And the best part, its a free country, and you are welcome to do whatever you like on your land.

Yup. Nothing like a tender elk sirloin, moose burgers, deer jerky!

And we already clear cut a million acres of forest every year. Isn't it easier to shut that down? Shouldn't the forest industry be sacrificed on the altar of climate change first?

Dont pick on the forestry industry, they have a similar business to ag. And dont think too many want to live in mud huts anymore, lots of other benefits to forestry also. The regrowth after logging and replanting is amazing, looks like hell the first couple years but after that grows pretty good, likely better carbon sequestering than the prior aged trees.

Chuckchuck. I find it very bad manners to try and put words in someone’s mouth. I stated some facts. Who is arguing, Debating or trying to generalize that trees are bad? Or trying to turn anybody against anyone.
If I did not like trees I could add some productive acres to my land. I am also waiting for some free trees to plant for more windbreak. I just find it sad that we closing industries and about to waste a lot of money doing many things that will not make much difference when we have people living in the streets and pensioners going to food banks.

Agreed

And they remove the carbon in tree form and turn it into a useful product vs letting it rot or burn in the bush. My cousins run a sawmill and plant millions of trees every year on a mix of private and public land. Third generation now running it and they take care of the land no different than we do. They have a great life with ups and downs just like all of us.

It is ...the math is done on Trudeau's promise of one billion trees ...3-5 million tonnes of carbon sequestering per year...

New growth would do the same for 10s of billions of trees already there...

Sadly the environmentalists go with Trudeau's idea instead....

How wrong you are. Landowners are subject to all the zoning and bylaws that local governments enforce. Provincial and federal governments all have laws that prevent And restrict certain types of activities on your land. Ownership does not give you unlimited control.

And mineral holders have the regulated right to access their minerals whether you and I like it or not. So ownership offers some some control but you are not allowed to do what ever you like!

Agree, have said many times all our trees/crops/lakes make us the world's carbon sink, only twisted climate goof balls can't see or admit it!!! SHAME on "you people"!
