Like Ben said. Around here they call it "cut the best and leave the rest"

To give GP some credit, yeah the provincial goverment did not do a good job of trying to manage the crown lease. Any of the companies working on crown land so high grading to a point...when its about money why would they not.

The developing lingo on AS would have this last post read something like this:

"When it's about money, they high graded. And why wouldn't they?"
