Save Old Growth has blocked all six westbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway enroute to Vancouver.
Supporters of Save Old Growth have blocked traffic heading into Vancouver in all 6 westbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway by Willingdon Ave at Exit 29.
One person is locked in place with a heavy barrel, and arrests are expected, the group said.
This is the second disruption in Vancouver this week, part of an ongoing escalation across the province to demand the provincial government pass legislation to immediately end all old growth logging in British Columbia.
The group said 77 arrests have been made so far this year.
“I am blocking the Trans-Canada Highway because 600+ British Columbians died during the heat dome last summer. The Premier famously said that fatalities are a fact of life. We cannot accept fatalities that come from the government’s neglect of its duty of care. Federal and provincial governments have egregiously neglected their duty to combat climate breakdown,” said Bill Winder, 69, a retired UBC professor.

Well yes. A retired FRENCH and HISPANICS professor. I’d be surprised if he could explain in any detail the logic that connects a heat dome to this protest or how somebody who died came to be included in the ‘died due to heat dome’ population. Still, the North Shore Daily Post chooses to quote him as if he were a venerated expert on atmospheric dynamical theory and modelling.
North Shore Daily Post should be ashamed to publish this undocumented and propagandist click bait. But.. it isn’t.
