Editor:
I live in Burns Lake and first of all I want to say it's a tragedy what happened at the Babine Forest Products sawmill, however upon speaking with other residents, we are all coming to the same conclusion.
I am fed up at the favouritism being shown.
I am a struggling individual that is also in great financial difficulty who has lost my job and have had to wait 12 weeks for my employment insurance.
No one has given me any help with any assistance.
I have many skills that apply to the local job market with excellent references but Babine Forest Products workers are all being given priority.
People seem to forget that this tragedy affects the community as a whole and not only just the Babine Forest Products workers.
Has the town come forward and assisted the others that are struggling with aid and food that have also lost there job through no fault of their own.
Are our financial status any less important?
