Let me give you guys an example on how well we are doing here P.G. Lets say we have 400 laid off Canfor employees, who earned on average $1,000 a week. Now lets say that each of them gave $10 a week in tips, salvation army, church etc. That adds up to more than $280,000 dollars a year that is no longer available for tip, salvation army, church etc. In total, Prince George loses out on $20 million for our local economy for one year. So remember, when Dick Harris and the Conservative party signed the softwood lumber agreement, they gave $1.6 billion to the U.S. government. Thus directly taking the very livelihood, and the food right out of our mouths. Remember that's $20 million we have no longer available to our local economy, and $1.6 billion to the U.S. we have to pay with NO CANADIAN JOBS!
