Another mill closure is not a statistic. It’s a family in B.C. wondering what tomorrow looks like. …from the island to the interior— working families who built the industrial spine of this province all share the same quiet fear: that the next round of tariffs, next dip in the markets or a long fire season could erase decades of employment. …The recent announcement that West Fraser will permanently close its mill in 100 Mile House is a devastating reminder of what happens when that stability fails. B.C. has all the resources, the skill, and the will to build an economy that works for working people. What’s missing is a coordinated strategy that treats our industrial sectors as one ecosystem and a politics that views workers as partners, not props. For too long, economic debates have forced a narrative that pits sector against sector, between fiscal pressures and fairness. False choices.
