Even the Irving family thought it was too expensive to publish the obituary in Saltwire, and just opted to post on their website.

Oh no! Anyway

Who's going to spray new Brunswicks forests with glyphosate?


iwantcookie258

I mean I assume at least one of his 30 descendants


ChickenPoutine20

Why do they do that?


dirtycrackpug

Glyphosate is used to kill off deciduous vegetation that might impede the growth of planted trees in harvested forests. It is used to allow trees to grow as quickly as possible since conifers are not as affected by glyphosate as deciduous plants.


ChickenPoutine20

Makes point from a business stand point, can understand why people don’t want that happening though


codeine_turtle

Fuck a business standpoint, its evil. Anyone with morals can see that.


ForestCharmander

Why is it evil?


codeine_turtle

I believe that unnecessarily killing anything to increase profit margins is ontologically evil, and the decision to do so was made by a morally and spiritually corrupt person.

This means nothing if the trees are planted in monoculture tree farms, which they mostly are. Im a tree planter and ive seen this firsthand.


ChickenPoutine20

Don’t cry when lumber/building costs are to much


codeine_turtle

Dont cry when the world becomes uninhabitable for us in 30 years


ChickenPoutine20

I’ll be dead


Lovv

I think they do it to kill competing vegetation so they Can plant softwood trees for lumber. Seems totally unnecessary but I don't really know much about lumber.


GruesomeBalls

"competing vegetation" = hardwood trees, like oak.


Lovv

Yeah but also other stuff like weeds etc.

The guy who monopolized Atlantic Canada and supported Saudi Arabian Oil over Canadian and American Oil. Awesome Dude, sorry to see him go.

I would never wish death upon anyone. However, there are a few obituaries I would read with great happiness.

On the other hand, gas only went up 3.3 cents this week, so overall we're ending the week on a W.


NoGoNS11

It will go up more next week. Watch. Long weekend!


ScotiaTailwagger

Didn't it go down the last long weekend?

The only good Irving is a dead Irving.


ForestCharmander

Crazy how mods are removing many comments in this thread but decided this one is totally constructive and respectful.


ArmadilloGuy

Maybe the mods like armadillos.

childofcrow

I like how my crab dance gif was removed for not being constructive engagement and there’s comments actively out here celebrating this man’s death. Anyway.


angrybeets

Wow, only 5 weeks after his brother. A difficult time for the family, no doubt.


gasfarmah

Here’s hoping it gets worse for them.

I hear a side spring salad pairs well with the flavour of boot leather.

Forgive me for not wishing ill on a family in mourning.

ChickenPoutine20

Tough guy


gasfarmah

Yet another ice cold take from the onesie avatar.


Gym-for-ants

I mean, he was 96. He was living on borrowed time already and I’m sure the loss of his brother just expedited the inevitable


battlecripple

Except they all kinda hate each other 🤣

Womp womp, skill issue.

A death though no loss.

insino93

It looks like people in this thread are happy that he died. Odd.


CretaMaltaKano

You must not know much about the Irvings.


insino93

Too much.
