This is a must read from Alexandra Morton. How a Government puts its people and the environment at risk for the sake of a few jobs and profits for its Norwegian investors.
Good job there are still some people willing to put their heads above the parapet now and then. Is this all happening in Scotland too but who will ask the question??
See the "Guide to Safe Salmon" especially.
Hello
Since doctors in Norway began speaking up 6 months ago
to voice their concerns regarding the toxins in farmed salmon, I have been
following the developments in Norway. I have assembled this information in a
new blog. The information is pretty disturbing. Young women, in particular,
should be made aware.
Guide to Safe
Salmon
Yesterday Chief Robert Chamberlin extended an invitation
to stand with him at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans downtown Vancouver
office at 200 - 401 Burrard Street on Monday, February 17 at 9 am. Chamberlin
has many salmon farms in his territory, known as the Broughton Archipelago. He
has been instructed by the people he represents to protect their food resources
from salmon farms as they have seen the impact first hand. Chamberlin has been
relentless, traveling to Norway several times to attend the AGMs of the
companies that are using his territory to grow Norwegian farmed salmon. He is
Vice President of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs and has spent years
in government processes, continuing to this day, trying to resolve the impact of
salmon farms on British Columbia.
When it
was discovered that British Columbia had been opened to expansion of the salmon
farming industry, Chamberlin had not been consulted. Three of the first
applications to expand the industry are in the Broughton Archipelago.
I will be standing in front of the DFO office on Monday at 9 am
with Chief Chamberlin. There is a
facebook
event page.
It will be a peaceful, honourable event. I hope that you will
join us, even if you can only be there for 15 minutes. Government needs to know
the wild salmon of British Columbia have to be treated with respect and not
destroyed.
Please view
Guide to Wild
Salmon and see what we are risking the wild salmon of British Columbia
for.
Thank you,
