Why are you a part of this discussion anyways, you favor a Enbridge dont you???.... ;D ;D ;D

Funny I was just thinking the same thing. ::)

In regards to the name calling, I say "If the shoe fits, wear it". People are slowly but surely seeing her for what she really is, a nuisance with no real credentials. This is just the one of the many "mistakes" she's made, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

How are corporations like mosquitoes? In every way imaginable......  that's why we have all the environmental regulations and organizations in place to ensure they don't suck the environment dry and deposit their viruses.  http://www.ec.gc.ca/default.asp?lang=En&n=48d356c1-1

We had environmental regulations and organizations in place until your pal's Omnibus Bill was passed. Now we have a process where Harper's cabinet (translation: Harper) decides what is good and what is not and science is irrelevant.

That's almost as silly a comment as me saying that "we had clean pristine oceans here on the coast until your Norwegian salmon feedlot corporation buddies started planting their pollution generating net cages in our ocean....."   ::)

Well, you do say an awful lot of silly crap like that (as Annie would say "getty up horsey") but in reality there is no similarity between the two comments.

I'm sure you're aware of that because even the most ignorant fool could not have missed the provisions in the bill that gutted environmental reviews and limited participation, allow cabinet to override the outcomes of the gutted process that remains, scraps the annual reviews of progress on climate change mitigation and repeals legislation that Harper long ago abrogated, revises the fisheries act to limit protection to fish and habitat while transferring much decision making authority from the process to the Fisheries minister and changes to the Species at Risk Act to reduce protection and again transfer more authority to the Environment minister to override the process. Nor could that fool have missed the muzzling of scientists or the defunding of long term research projects or the defunding and depopulating of the DFO who are responsible for most fisheries research.

Then again, perhaps you did miss it or perhaps you don't understand the implications or perhaps most likely, you are in agreement with the actions.

Doesn't take much to get you on a tantrum......  however I was referring to the similarity between you calling Harper my "Pal" and me calling the feedlot corporations your "buddies".

In spite of the fact you agree with dropping those feedlot cages in our oceans and risking the survival of the wild salmon, I in no way believe you had any influence on that happening nor do I hold you personally responsible. I prefer sticking to the discussion as opposed to getting personal. While we disagree on stuff and I am passionate about saving the wild salmon while you are passionate about growing fish in the same water, I see no advantage in calling each other down....

It's frustrating that Morton is putting so much effort into fighting fish farms and making these videos; meanwhile, some real drastic changes are going down in this country which are even a greater threat (IMO).

I have to believe the only reason Chris posted that link was that he has finally seen the light ;D   Really, why else would a supporter show the world and his favourite activist in such a poor light?

Welcome aboard Chris!   ;)

Yeah and now the feds are in charge of fish farms too. " Mr. Fox, you're now in charge of hen-house security". :o :o
