    As long as the timber isn’t being burned, the CO2 is still in the wood.

    Hardly.

    A big chunk ends up in slash piles because it’s not marketable timber. Maybe 30% of the embedded carbon.

    Another big chunk ends up as short-lifetime paper products, where it ends up back in the atmosphere.

    More ends up as wood pellets to be burned.

    Some residual amount ends up as long-lifetime products which keep the carbon out of the atmosphere.

    Expansion of the area which is used for timber needs to end in Canada like it does everywhere else.

      You can argue all you want but it seems you don’t know much about Canada’s lumber industry and I don’t have the time or need to argue with a right-fighter.

        I’m very confused by this statement; it sounds like you don’t know the first thing how trees get used.
