On July 27, 2020, a Nanaimo Extinction Rebellion hunger strike began demanding the NDP government immediately ban all logging of old-growth forests in British Columbia. The action highlights concerns about the impact of the Canada-China Foreign Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement (CC-FIPA) on resource control and old-growth forest destruction.
This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
