INTRODUCTIONIf I say: “logging, wood, and paper”? Would Ancient Forests and Indigenous People's rights come to your mind? Do you know if and how far the Forest Stewardship Council is acting in protecting that? I am talking about the FSC certification that you can find on several packaging and more. Off we go! It is time to go over it with a fine-tooth comb with our enthralling guest, Peter Wood.  FSC is the first of a series of “Certifications Spotlight: Truths and Traps” audio clips. They will all unravel the mysteries behind the logos, certifications, and declarations you find on packaging. Let's equip you with knowledge and critical thinking to decipher:its meaning,its application,its grey areas,and its pros and cons. HERE ARE THE RECOMMENDED RESOURCES The PhD of Peter Wood that evaluates the changes that companies have to make in order to meet FSC certification: https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/bitstream/1807/17844/1/Wood_Peter_J_200906_PhD_thesis.pdfThe criteria for FSC in BC merged with the Canada-wide standard: https://connect.fsc.org/document-centre/documents/resource/181The very interesting expose: Alecci, Scilla. 2023.

More than 1,100 people have been arrested this year for breaching a court injunction while protesting logging of old growth at Fairy Creek. On Oct 4, protesters gathered at the BC Legislature to call on the government to take action to protect old growth, especially since its been over a year since Premier John Horgan promised to implement an independent old-growth panel's recommendations in “totality". We speak with Ken Wu, executive director at Endangered Ecosystems Alliance.

All sides in the old-growth logging dispute are digging in deep after a British Columbia Supreme Court judge refused to extend an injunction against protest blockades on southern Vancouver Island. More than 1,100 people have been arrested at blockades near Fairy Creek. Matt Galloway speaks with Patrick Canning, one of the lawyers representing protesters. He also speaks with Cliff Atleo Jr., an assistant professor who teaches Indigenous governance and resource relationships at Simon Fraser University, and Ken Wu, executive director of Endangered Ecosystems Alliance.

This podcast is a MUST LISTEN if you are concerned about old-growth in British Columbia. In this episode of The Public Circle Podcast I connect with Ken Wu, the former Executive Director of the Ancient Forest Alliance and the current Executive Director of the Endangered Ecosystems Alliance. For the past thirty years Ken has worked on protecting high productivity old-growth in British Columbia. Starting in the Walbran and Clayquot forests, and as the former Executive Director of the Victoria Chapter of the Wilderness Committee, he is a leading advocate for old-growth protection in our province. Ken and I discuss the difference between low-medium productivity and high productivity old-growth. We highlight how government officials continue to mix and muddle the numbers in an effort to take credit for massive deferrals (more than 350,000 hectares) announced last September when in reality all but 1% of those deferrals were previously protected. We also discuss the need for British Columbia to create conservation financing and land acquisition funds to bring to the consultation table with Indigenous Nations. Otherwise, the province is simply asking First Nations to walk away from revenue and jobs that the provincial government would never consider asking any other community to do. With so little high productivity old-growth remaining time is of the essence. Please share this podcast far and wide! Thank you.

Episode 16 Today it is my pleasure to introduce to you Ken Wu. Ken is the executive director of the Endangered Ecosystems Alliance, a new national Canadian conservation organization advocating the science-based protection of native ecosystems, seeking to engage non-traditional allies of the environmental movement, and working to support Indigenous Protected Areas. He was previously the co-founder and executive director of the Ancient Forest Alliance and the executive director of the Wilderness Committee’s Victoria bureau. So before we get into good news stories, what are some sad stories that you have seen? Here ancient forests with trees that are 2000 years old .. These are some of the oldest and biggest trees that have existed in earth’s history. These trees on Vancouver Island can be as much as 20 feet wide.. as wide as a living room and as tall as a downtown sky scraper. But for all those that we have saved, we have lost 3x as many. This is because there is so much value in these trees. Western red cedar in these days is particularly valuable for cladding houses on the outside and for decks.That is the green gold right now – propping up the old logging industry. The have already logged 99% of the Douglas Fir. There is only 1% of the old growth Douglas Fir left. The Sitka Spruce is less than 10% now. Cedar is probably around 15-20% of the old growth. So we are getting to end of the old growth forest. But there is some progress too.So as much as we have lost a lot, I think it is important for people to stay engaged and keep pushing. There has been big progress last week…Please tell us about that.Finally the British Columbia government announced deferrals or moratorium on 9 major areas of old growth forest in BC. They started up a process to develop new policies to manage BC’s old growth forests. This was decades of pushing by citizens. But we are not there yet, we have to keep expanding awareness of these ecosystems.The 9 deferral areas include Clayoquot Sound. I think a lot of your listeners at one time have been to Tofino, Ucluelet area of Vancouver Island…so just around Tofino is that spectacular set of islands and valleys …that is now on a moratorium for logging. It is the biggest track of coastal old growth temperate rain forest on Vancouver Island. So some good things are happening.Those huge trees draw in so much carbon.Yes even more than the tropical rain forest trees. Because all of the nutrients get sucked up so quickly in the tropics, but in the temperate rain forests of British Columbia, Oregon, and California, there is a lot of carbon locked in the wood that is on the forest floor, in the soil, and in the trees. The trees in these temperate forests live longer and get bigger. So that combination means that there is substantially more carbon in Canada’s old growth temperate rain forests than even in the Amazon or in central Africa.That is one of the best things we can do to avert the climate crisis is to protect not just tropical forests but temperate rain forests and all types of forests.See transcription at Treesmendus.com

Mike, Tommy and Kevin return and immediately make amends to Ken Wu and his ancestry. Then they dive into what each Mighty Ducks player is wearing to the Halloween party, assuming it's still the mid-90s. The Batman films are very popular among the Ducks.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin reunite to discuss the Mighty Ducks as food, but it morphs into what is each Duck's favorite food. From Filet Mignon to dinosaur nuggets there is a cuisine for everybody. Apologies in advance to Ken Wu. A huge thanks to producer Elsie for sponsoring the podcast. You too, can become a producer of the show! Send us a voicemail!

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast. Today, I have a bonus episode for you, continuing with The Mighty Ducks Trilogy here is, D2: The Mighty Ducks, which came out in 1994. In this movie after Gordon Bombay is injured while playing hockey in the minor leagues, he is recruited by Hendrix Hockey to coach Team USA in the Junior Goodwill Games in Los Angeles, California. He gathers all the old ducks together, granted they're missing Peter, Karp, Tommy, Tammy and Terry from the OG crew, so 5 more ducks have to be added to the roster. That's where Dean Portman, Ken Wu, Julie "The Cat" Gaffney, Luiz Mendoza and Dwayne Robertson come in. The new ducks and old ducks work together to take on hockey teams from other countries, their ultimate foe just like the Hawks in the first movie, now, they have Iceland. Guys who are taller and bigger and let's just be honest here look like they are 22 years old playing against 13 year olds. Of course it can't be a ducks movie without crazy antics and mischief, along with montages and a wise old man giving sage advice to remind Gordon Bombay who he is and where he comes from. Yes, the five OG Ducks aren't the only ones missing from the sequel, Hans went back to the old country and his brother Jan (not Jan, like The Brady Bunch) has come to run the skate shop in Minnesota as well as bless the ducks with some new Ducks Uniforms in the last five minutes of the movie. As far as villians go, the Wolf Stansson guy is a cartoon villain compared to Jack Riley, Gordon's old coach from the Pee Wee's who I liked a lot more after this guy. Never thought I'd hear myself say that. I had a fun time rediscovering this sequel although honestly, I liked the original better. I can't wait to get to D3: The Mighty Ducks in March. Have a great week everyone! To Write Into The Podcast Go To: lbomwonderyearspodcast@gmail.com

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin tackle another Mighty Ducks minute. This time it's a breakdown of Gordon Bombay's speech after the U.S.A.'s 12-1 loss to Iceland. Bombay gets challenged by a bunch of 12-year-olds and claps back. Was that the right move? Show Notes Spring is coming. Get your gear from The Quack Attack shop now. Ken Wu's face while everyone else is disgusted: One of two closeups for Goldberg: Little Charlie is crushed: TFW Bombay calls you pathetic, Portman vs. Fulton versions: Donald Trump Jr. vs. Gordon Bombay. Who wore it better? The Miracle sprints scene That happened in real life. And the U.S. beat Norway 8-0 the next day. But the "I play for the United States of America" thing didn't happen according to Jack O'Callahan. The 1980 U.S. Olympic team did indeed beat Finland to win the Gold Medal. Thanks to @ByTheGunk for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod How does Jack Reilly view Banks in D2 and D3? Proud or haunted ? #quackquestion — ByTheGunk (@ByTheGunk) January 25, 2019

When humans cut down forests, what disappears along with them? The ancient rainforests of Canada’s Pacific coast feature incredible biodiversity and some of the tallest and oldest trees in Canada, perhaps the world. In this episode author Harley Rustad tells the story of a tree that’s probably over 1000 years old (and miraculously still standing). We speak with Ken Wu of the Ancient Forest Alliance, a BC organization working to protect these forests. And we’re also joined by Tla-o-qui-at carver and activist Joe Martin who shares what these trees mean to him and his peoples. Together, these guests transport us into these majestic woodlands—hiking boots optional.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin are back discussing the Mighty Ducks novelizations. The D2 version is so good it had to be split into two different podcasts. In part one they discover a feud over Connie between Guy Germaine and Luis Mendoza. Elsewhere Portman loses his Nirvana tape. Show Notes Go to the shop. Use SHIP18 for free shipping. We talked about the novelization of D1 in Episode 151.  Did Bombay pass out from his knee injury? Hans' has removed Jan's name from the sport shop: Winnipeg has a population of 705,000 people according to Wikipedia, the smallest of any city with an NHL team. A sampling of other movies Jordan Horowitz has adapted into novels: Free Willy, Tom and Jerry: The Movie, Free Willy 2, Heavyweights Duck call to Jesse and Brendan for correctly identifying the book series Kevin was talking about last episode. It was the Screech Owls series by Roy MacGregor. If you want to read the novelizations, go to queertet.net. Meeting up at the old Band Box.  We talked about Ken Wu's ancestry in Episode 17 and Episode 143.  I couldn't find any high school mascot with the mascot of the Tangerines. If you find one, send it our way.  Thanks to @colinm82 for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod what was going in Minnesota in the 90s? Truly a breeding ground for unconventional coaching, tactics, and leadership. Gordon Bombay with the Ducks, Billy Haywood with the Twins. Did their success inspire a Jesse Ventura for Governor victory? #quackquestion — Colin (@colinm82) February 27, 2018 Little Big League came out in 1994. It has a scorching 33 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Jesse Ventura made became Governor in 1999. The Wizard came out in 1989. It has an even hotter 26 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

We speak with former provincial New Democrat cabinet minister Corky Evans about the ideas that should be discussed during his party's upcoming leadership race.
