More from Alexandra Morton.   Government seems the same the world over.

Hello

Below is a link to a letter I wrote to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in response to yet another announcement that there is no ISA virus in British Columbia. ISA virus is a salmon virus in the influenza family that is deadly to salmon and associated with salmon farms.

In their recent declaration, the CFIA fails to tell us what test they used, fails to inform us why the same labs got positives in 2011 and why those results should be ignored, and they fail to address the fact that two out of the three labs they used included a disclaimer with their test results.

However, ignoring all this they state "This evidence is used to support scientifically based control measures, for the purposes of safe domestic and international trade."

Canada has gained an international reputation for destroying scientific libraries and muzzling scientists.

This has sparked international condemnation and unprecedented response
by Canadian scientists.

Now the CFIA is declaring British Columbia ISA virus-free in absence of the most basic scientific protocol.

Please consider writing to the bureaucrats and politicians listed at the end of my blog.  If we abandon science completely in Canada we stand lose our health, environment, standard of living, and pretty much everything. Surely there is a way to enjoy the benefits of commerce without entering a new sort of Dark Ages.
