================== Why Pine Tree Activism? ================== Good Sunday morning!. It's bright, sunny, and warming up. Welcome new followers! I appreciate your interest and faith in the content here. I post this from time to time to explain the background to choosing the name Pine Tree Activism.
Interesting Canadian oil is in the same position as the loggers and ship builders of the US in 1777 Except … we are selling our oil to the US at a huge discount and were pressured to only build pipelines to the States. Any building of refineries faced severe opposition from the U.S.
It's all madness and control. Big money talks and does what it wants, consumers be damned.
The trees were needed for masts on the British war and merchant ships.
Yes, all for the Royal Navy, as it says above. There was in the 1980s-90s, & may be still, an ancient, giant Eastern White Pine in the Rockland Bog of Knox County, Maine, bearing the King's mark, an upward arrow made of three strikes with a broad axe. Hence the name Broad Arrow. I'd love to see it.

I'm trying to suss why this post has garnered so many more reposts/likes in a day compared to when I've posted it before. I like to think it's because folks are paying more attention to the fact that we've been here before, & that #resistance is not only possible, but necessary. What do you think?
I have never seen you before, but this morning it was at the top of my feet. Some algorithm is boosting it? A wonderful story. Thank you.
