More of an issue if you're spraying: today the WHO reclassified glyphosate as a 2A "probable" carcinogen most strongly linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The citronella stuff I used was quite effective.

So, anyway's, I'll be graduating university soon and have been preparing my resume to look for a "real" job. The thing is, while looking at other people's resume's, they go into great detail about their previous job experiences and, I can't think of anything to put besides "I planted...

People do make honest mistakes sometimes. I can think of far worse things that have happened in the planting world than being off by 100 stems/Ha. If being given slightly inaccurate specs was the only thing that was off I would have simply chalked it up as an honest mistake, but given what I experi...

E.E

Rory, one of the Celtic owners, gave us the wrong quality specs at the prework, telling us to plant 100 stems less per hectare than actually prescribed, and not to space off burn piles. He also told us that if we got injured at work we shouldn't claim WCB, because that would result in a lower tree ...

Epoch Times is the mouthpiece of Falun Gong, the cult/revolutionary movement/cause celebre if you dislike Socialism with Chinese Characteristics/many other things. So perhaps the article's ethos of overcoming hardship through asceticism and mystical rumination - underpinned by unquestioning obedienc...

E.E

a) the risks associated with pesticides/herbicides/fungicides/fert exposure as they pertain to treeplanters are unquantified and that will probably never change. b) protective measures mandated by MSDS are totally unsuitable for planting. If you wore impermeable skin barriers all day long to handle ...

What did they say? I imagine the customer service drones could not care less about it. Did you try their fraud hotline? Or Revenue Canada's?

It's also worth mentioning that an effective mainstream DEET alternative now exists and is available cheaply, probably at Canadian Tire. Picaridin and picaridin derivatives have been available in other parts of the world for years and came on the market recently in North America, just as effective ...

I spent an hour on the phone with CRA and they told me my best option was to speak with the small business professionals. The establishment of a permanent residence is required to claim moving expenses so they told me moving to a tent meant I was not allowed to make this claim, even if I spent 264 ...

If in the future -I- could become a tree planting robot via cybernetic joint enhancements and muscle grafts and such, that would be pretty cool.

also teal is so much better than blue. How many blue voters have actually tried teal?

Silence... I like being able to hear if my neighbours are in a bind, if a muster call went off, etc.

off topic but I've never seen the dakotas last longer than 40 days

amazing... I can't believe that's legal.

With the miners it seemed from the news that the real opposition and agitation came from the unions.
Anyways, I don't understand why treeplanting hasn't 100% swung to crews of temporary foreign workers.

E.E

I would email Adam.

E.E

We could really use an advocate who would pursue these sorts of issues. The problem with grass-roots organization is, like you've said, getting a coherent voice out of planters is basically impossible; thus, politicians are more or less free to ignore us as they have done before. In a more broad en...

If you want stuff for a screening wherever, just ask Adam. He is very responsive about anything film related. adamhump@gmail.com

There was a Bulgarian posting here about his planting exploits in Sweden. This thread gives a pretty good outline of his experiences... http://www.replant.ca/phpBB3/viewtopic. ... den#p69488

There is -no- planting in the Eurozone at all?

Completely illegal. http://lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/C-34/page ... bo-ga:l_VI

E.E

you cannot put into question my ability to survive No one doubts (or cares about) your ability to survive. That is not the issue, and it has no relevance to planting. As a rookie, you should be absorbed with improving your productivity. Productivity begins with lots of calories and lots of sleep. Y...

You won't be able to avoid paying camp costs. Don't try. Think critically about this: where are you going to bathe? Where are you going to store your food, and how will you cook? How will you get to staging (likely the parking lot of your crew's motel) for 7AM every morning if you're camped in the b...

The Airport Inn has a campground, probably your cheapest bet unless you want to sleep in the bush.

E.E

I almost don't think it matters what kind of stuff you buy, it all ends up being nothing more than fire fodder by the end of the season. This is untrue. There have been productive discussions in these forums about keeping boots viable across multiple seasons. The tl;dr is buy good boots, clean them...

Another argument against down is its sensitivity to dirt. It is colder and lumpier when dirty vice synthetic. It is also a bit more of a hassle to launder.

People make good money picking cherries, but it requires a lot more networking than planting to secure work. Basic French will be a huge asset. You'll be moving quite a bit, following the harvest across the southern interior. A vehicle is mandatory. Picking is also a good way to secure other miscell...

There was a girl who posted here about the dangers of fert+tampons. Her period fell during a fert shift, and fert contamination on her tampons led to an infection that eventually put her in the hospital with toxic shock. She switched to a Diva Cup and had no more problems. If you're menstruating and...

E.E

How about no cook? I have yet to meet a chef (planting or otherwise) who could hear honest feedback about their food without taking it personally. That doesn't stop them from endlessly soliciting it, though. One nice part of motel shows that never gets old: not having to go through the passive aggre...

I agree that it gives a distorted voice of authority to the anthro position, as well as omitting critical arguments from both sides. I think it's a good roundup of the most common skeptic talking points, though, and it's a jump-off for those who want to develop their understanding of the issue again...

I should have written out the URL though... I should have noticed that the board wasn't reformatting embedded URLs with an underline and a different colour.

Given the pricing on the website, I can't imagine that your brother is going to make any money without a bulk order discount, and I can't imagine anyone paying money for what you could see on any planter's facebook page. Does he intend to sell this to naive Europeans or... public libraries? The WCSA?

E.E

How much of that burden has historically been carried by the licensee vs. the contractor? I saw a documentary on Global of all cha...

Newforest, you really need to play to disaffected college youth. Advertise treeplanting as the Marines for people who would never, ever join the Marines.

well there's already a lot of mexicans up every spring to pick daffodils, and then they move on to other contracts, more every year actually it's not a big stretch to imagine them coming into the planting biz. There's a program that the larger farms in the Okanagan take advantage of, where a group ...

Hugo, one possible avenue might be a university legal clinic. Trying to be your own lawyer will likely get you nowhere. Also, contact a bar association and see if they can direct you to a lawyer who will a) read a cleaned-up version of Screefhead's summary without charging you and b) give you an ide...

Here's a question to those in the know:

Did beetle-control activities actually change the infestation in any way?

Dusty's post reads like a prelude to a psychotic break. I once saw an infomercial with the same basic idea - 'Nowhere in the "law" does it say that "you" have to "pay" "taxes"; pay $59.99 and learn more!' Dusty should go to work selling offshore accounts to no...

When I dropped out of school and went to work, one job I held briefly was at an industrial bakery. When it came out in my interview that I had one year of post-secondary, I was 'tracked' to a more sophisticated (and better paying) job within the factory, to the detriment of employees who had been th...

Hi Rich, Are you saying that universities get a bounty of $10k per year per full time student from the provincial/federal government? Or that general funding/grants to universities and academics work out to roughly 10k per student? Or are you talking about student lending? I would be surprised if go...
