Just buy American and all will be fine.

WOW! Did Canada take over the US while I was sleeping? Or did we just take over Alaska? Because I know we had ZILCH influence on American policies when I went to sleep last night.

But on the brighter side.

And how was the sockeye return this year?

Divert and deflect farmfisherbawb.....monotonous, at the very best, ridiculous in reality. Lots of slobs toss garbage around the rivers - if they're doing it, so should I?

Is it not true that 98% of the fish farms are owned by Norwegian interests.Surely most revenues would not stay in the country.Whats the benefit for us ?
 Is it also true that most of the exports go to the US.
Why would we continue on this road, so we can provide the US with cheap farmed fish at the expense of our environment .
Surely the jobs lost can be found elsewhere supportting a sport fishing industry or tourism.

Succinct point. Why make a mess of our waters to feed Americans dirty fish and line the pockets of Foreign pirates. As far as jobs go those numbers would be the same if they did it land based.

Farmfisherbawb, Steve, Dave or any of your supporting cast members - Would you care to put a number or show any effort the the feedlot groups have put into wild fish/ environmental enhancement? Do you REALLY believe the stuff that drops from the pens is benign?

Please, no soft shoe dance or sidestepping. Plain English without the $50 words, I'm just an ignernt redneck.

Good post Bawb sure helps to clear things up:

"Despite all of the preventative measures, some salmon do occasionally become ill. A veterinarian will then examine the fish and determine the appropriate action to be taken. As with all farm animals, the veterinarian may sometimes decide that the illness requires antibiotic treatment - and will then prescribe a registered antibiotic that is approved by the Veterinary Drug Directorate of Health Canada. "

Aw Bawb - I wonder if you're related to the Ford brothers with the constant denial.  So you say it's OK to put slice, poop, antibiotics and all the other CRAP into "pristine waters"?

[Novabonker]

Hey Bawb - read this about the drugs we already are getting into the water systems. But we need to add more?

Good to see your coming clean about your condition with the chemical cocktail that's in BC farmed salmon Bawb. There should be treatment centers to nip it in the bud ,eh.

Hey this is also a good read. What do the farm fish supporters think about taxpayers bailing them out for diseases they imported.

http://commonsensecanadian.ca/canadian-taxpayers-bail-norwegian-fish-farms-diseased-fish/

These things need to go WAAAAY offshore or onto land. Ridiculous.

Don't inconvenience the feedlot farm hands with facts and figures. You'll be sent to Norway for reprogramming.  - (See farmfisherbawb's rhetoric and his sources of  (dis)information.)

I am not a fish farmer NB. Seems you like to say that as a racial mud sling. Well, what ever spins your real dude. . Your kind of Rhetoric is why I no longer support Doc Morton and her American special intrest groups. If I have to listen to propaganda I would rather it be Canadian.
