“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

TREV Talks … garbage! TREV talks … GHG’s! TREV talks west-coast garbage and turning fluff into energy!


“Imagine a government that is less worried about tickets being scalped and more worried about reducing GHG’s by 20-30% … all while supporting our safe, sustainable and beneficial energy resources?”.  That’s the question posed by Fort St. John Councillor Trevor Bolin. 

Just the other day TREV talked with Marlon Lee of FogDog Energy, a company that has redefined the way garbage and recycling are done and helping turn landfills into parks

Lee is blunt in saying change needs to be made, and that, “We’ve got these Premiers committing to all these GHG reductions … they’re thinking that they’re trying to limit pipelines … and they’re trying to limiting fracking … or natural resource development”.

The big thing about climate change, and having a climate tax, is that landfills in Canada contribute 25 to 30% of all GHG’s in Canada.  The most important things in GHG’s is METHANE – and that’s 20 times more potent than CO2!

The Fogdog Solution is to instead implement a system designed for the treatment of almost any types of waste. It converts Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Medical Waste to a composition that is sterile, disinfected and dehydrated. An end product material we call “fluff”. The process also creates both a reduction in volume and in weight.

So why, are we constantly picking on oil and gas?  Everything keeps coming at them. 


Instead take 25 tons of garbage … almost all waste including plastics, metals, and organics), and in literally 30 minutes it’s processed down to fluff (like those dust bunnies we find under the couch or bed). 

And the end product – the fluff?  It can become energy to power homes and business … and liquid fuels including diesel.

If they (politicians) literally look in their own backyards, and especially in the lower mainland where Vancouver, for example, ships a large part of its garbage north, they would actually be reducing GHG’s faster and more effective than trying to limit resource development.

Instead, Fogdog Energy’s Marlon Lee, says “… they have these energy renewal programs.  I can tell you this, what programs?”

“The parameters they put in place doesn’t work for most organizations that are actually trying to have something, and trying to make change … the programs don’t apply to them!”

It might seem a little harsh, however Marlon says, “When it comes to government – NDP / Liberal – it doesn’t matter.  They have been completely useless.”

And that’s likely why Trev stated that, “The people of BC and Alberta have to reach out to government and have them look into it (this process), and STOP beating up on the oil and gas sector!”

It’s been proven in other countries, especially in Europe.  If politicians won’t accept the concept, it’s time to make a change.

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...

FORSETH – My question is, ‘How do we decide who is blue enough to be called a Conservative?’

How do we decide who’s blue enough to be a Conservative? AS OF TODAY (Friday January 30 th ), there are now eight individuals who have put their names forward to lead the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Having been involved with BC’s Conservatives since 2010, and having seen MANY ups and downs, having 8 people say “I want to lead the party” is to me, an incredible turn-around from the past. Sadly, however, it seems that our party cannot seem to shake what I, and others, call a purity test of ‘what is a Conservative’. And that seems to have already come to the forefront of the campaign by a couple of candidates. Let me just say as a Conservative Party of BC member, and as someone active in the party, that frustrates me to no end. Conservatives, more than any other political philosophy or belief, at least to me, seems to have the widest and broadest spectrum of ideals.   For the most part, they are anchored by these central thoughts --- smaller and less intru...
