Least Imaginative Use Makes Headlines

Alberta to make newsprint from beetle-damaged wood
Of all the thousands of uses for the beetle-killed wood, the least imaginative (grind it up and make pulp) is tearing up the 'news' these days. Perhaps it's because it's Alberta the most Tory-friendly, least imaginative Province in the country.
Perhaps it's because Alberta has decided to actually do something, rather than simply flap their gums endlessly and gobble up grant after grant, study after study, proposal after proposal while the wood rots in the forest and becomes a serious fire hazard.
Time for British Columbia to put it's money where it's mouth is!
