Canadians, especially if you live in #BC, please sign this petition to tell Premier Horgan that old growth logging is wrong and it must be stopped immediately.

There isn't much old growth forest left in BC, while the climate crisis is at a critical stage.

We're considering outdoor #security cameras -- after lots of deliberation and hesitation. We generally don't like security cameras due to privacy and human rights concerns.

Thanks for your help!
