Rally in Vancouver
« on: September 12, 2009, 11:09:13 AM »
Circle is having a rally on September 16th at noon in front of the DFO offices at Burrard and Pender.  Why you should to to the Rally and voice your concerns:
  • Open-net salmon farms have wiped out populations of wild salmon and sea-run trout in Norway, ireland, and Scotland.
    In BC's Broughton Archipelago, salmon farms have caused catastrophic collapses of pink salmonstocks. 
    There is good reason to believe, based on research by Alexandra Morton and others, that they have also played a role in the decline of Fraser sockeye.
    Ninety percent of BC's 130 farms are owned by Norwegian multinational corporations, who reap profits while polluting BC's waters and killing wild salmon.
    In August 2009, the Canadian government hosted a pavillion at the Nor Aqua aquacultrue trade show in Norway.  DFO Minister Gail Shea and other DFO staff put out the red carpet there to more multinational samon far corporations, offering up still more of BC's waters to this toxic industry.

Thanks for the heads up, I will be there.  Enough is enough now is the time to stand up for wild salmon!

When you have  an international Company catered to by both of our levels of Gov't AND in BC they employ only 500 people , AND theyexport to the world Hundreds of THOUSANDS of TONNES of fish to the World Every Year-- Then you now have a definition of Clout And POWER----- Cheers Boys and Girls
