Just another foreignor trying to take work away from canadians.

[LongBeachRadioCanada]

@Folkboat11 Just curious if you know Mr. Staniford? Or, if you are simply assuming that his accent means that he is an evil foriegnor who's only interest is to destroy the Canadian economy. It may interest you to know that most BC fish farms are own by "foreigners" with the bulk of any profits heading overseas.

While LBR takes no side in the fish farm debate it is worthwhile to consider that some foriegners may not be evil and some jobs may not be worth the other social issues they create.

@LongBeachRadioCanada Yes I know Staniford and I think It is a good thing " Vivian Krause' is in to research. Look for her interviews on Youtube. American foundations have payed over $90 million to promote so called wild Alaskan over farmed. Millions of that money went to so-called grassroots protests in western Canada. Why didn't these foundations put any money to enviromental action in the Gulf of Mexico, on the eastren seaboard or the Alaskan coast? Consider social issues They create.

@Folkboat11 I'm not sure I understand your statement in this comment. I mean no disrespect but I'm having troubles putting the sentences together to understand the point you are making. Do you have some link to articles regarding these foundations and their role in Canadian salmon protests?

[Folkboat11]

@LongBeachRadioCanada I am sure if you took the time to see Vivian Krause being interviewed, you may understand. Please take the time to watch the 3 of them on youtube. It also may be good for you to interview her yourself to keep an even keel. After all you said, "While LBR takes no side in the fish farm debate"

[LongBeachRadioCanada]

@Folkboat11 I've watched the Vivian Krause inteviews. I didn't hear anything regarding the enviromental impact of salmon farming directly. They seem to be more about misdirection to scare viewers by relating envirmentalism to American imperialism or other "bad guys".

Personally I (Geoff Johnson) do fear misguided political movements funded and manipulated by big business, etc. I'm personally not convinced on human caused climate change or the fish farm debate for these reasons and others

[LongBeachRadioCanada]

@Folkboat However, I feel her argument is itself one of misdirection. Why an organization funds one movement over another may discredit that organization for selfish motivations but should not immediately discredit that cause (while I admit funding can be a form of manipulation). I appreciate the need for a right wing perspective in media but it is difficult to take interviews from Sun and JPTV at face value given that both are self-confessed rightwing biased. I appreciate the insight, Thanks

The Pacific Salmon Forum PSF - a non-biased scientific body ordered to look into the sea lice issue found that the studies Morton was citing (her own), were incorrect. Co-author Marty Krkosek agreed. Morton and Krkosek were asked to “recalibrate”. She concluded that “the survival of the pink salmon cohort was not statistically different from a reference region without salmon farms.” That’s right – no extinction. Not even a difference.
