I worked for Weyerhaeuser Canada in the late 90's / early 00's when they bought Macmillan Bloedel. This was notable because Weyerhaeuser quietly harvested in the interior of BC and Northern Alberta/Sask - much of it secondary growth - while MacBlow was ground-zero of the old growth fight on Vancouver Island. I don't think Weyco had any idea of the controversy they were stepping into with that purchase. I still think it was done solely so executives from the mother ship in Tacoma could just go to Vancouver when visiting Canadian headquarters vs. the pain of going into the boondocks interior.
