seawest snooze PR firm, party marty, trying brian and simon says are in damage control over both the Fraser returns and speculative links to removal of farms on the outmigration route of the earlier smolts - while also trying to reassure investors and train the newest cabinet ministers on how aquaculture should be treated like agriculture despite the rather obvious differences in how water transports pathogens. Must've been quite the series of meetings arranging all the speaking heads the past few weeks.Net pen salmon farms spread disease, parasites and harm the marine environment wherever they are found. Need to ge these polluting feedlots onto land where their negative environmental impacts can be better managed! Nuff said!!
I'm quite tired of the deflections, gatekeeping, lying and lack of accountability - esp. from DFO Aquaculture & the communications Branch. I'm especially disgusted with several of our federal & provincial public employees that moonlight for the industry and subsequently lie about those impacts generated by the ONP technology while employed by us taxpayers to look after the public resources. It's called a conflict of interest - and they should be fired like other employees with similar conflicts.
Then when they retire with a nice federal pension they often keep doing the same thing that they were doing for the past 25+ years - working for the industry rather than for the public - while protecting the public's resources.
The DFO communications branch should be the reason DFO gets dismantled, and the fisheries management branch gets isolated from both aquaculture & the politicians. It's way past time to reinvent what used to be the Fisheries Research Board of Canada to nullify those conflicts of interest.
