The support for this here in B.C. is lukewarm, at best and it is "early days yet". But, WTF would I know, I only spent almost my entire working life in forestry, starting in '65.

The whole deal is just another corporate rip-off of the ordinary people of North America, look at the position of the organization representing U.S. homebuilders. The corporate elite are laughing, while working people will pay AND this same scenario will eventually come to pass in other resource sectors; we will see who moans and bitches then.
