Canada’s forest industry is in crisis. Ten of thousands of laid off workers from coast to coast are at risk of losing their homes, their savings and their pension. Hundreds of forest communities are fighting for their survival. The Conservative government has done nothing meaningful yet to help one of the main industrial sectors of the country.
