Visible caption: Why are CBC News, CHBC - Global Okanagan, and CTV News silent on how corporate forestry plays a role on why BC burning? Claims include: Okanagan under siege; media says climate change only; NDP government subsidizes timber corporations; helicopters aerially spray chemical herbicides such as glyphosate to kill trembling aspen and birch; since the 1970s logging companies dumped toxic chemicals over more than 430,000 hectares of BC forest land; aspen/birch are natural firebreaks; broadleaf removal transforms diverse forests into dry conifer tinderboxes; taxpayers pay to remove natural firebreaks and then pay to fight fires.
