DAY #7 .... a look back at the week of May 12th to 18th ...

Good morning ... and I hope your Victoria Day Long Weekend is going well.  Another seven days have passed with over two dozen commentaries posted, including a record number for a Saturday ... four.

We’ve talked about timber sales ... we’ve talked about the Tanker Ban in the Senate ... Suits and Boots have added the Canola farmers to their organization ... and the upcoming Quest Sawmill closure in Quesnel, by Tolko Industries.

Other topics this week included debt and deficits with the federal Liberal party of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ... and the upcoming Money Laundering inquiry that Premier John Horgan’s NDP government has finally been pressured into calling.

Of all the topics we discussed this past week, here are the top 10 that had the highest readership:

#10 ... This is an important first victory, but our battle (to sink the tanker ban) hasn’t yet been won ...

And finally, rounding out our week, here is the story that caught the eyes of the most readers.

#1 ... On the Tolko closure in Quesnel, “My opinion is that when the mills went to the free market system to get logs, their area just went for a shit. The cost to get logs to Quesnel is pretty high” ...
