Explain why the situation in Canada is different?  There is virtually no first or old growth forest left in Canada. 

BC is cutting down virtually all the interior pine forests due to the Mountain Pine beetle epidemic and there is plenty of actively growing, not yet mature forests in BC. So much that about half of the sawmills in the interior of BC will be closing in the next 5 years due to lack of allowable cut. 

But our growing forests don't count as much as the US's forests. Why? Because our know everything government tells us so.
