Well folks if we want to help stop this terrible assualt on our freedoms and wild salmon and the environment we must act now. The Legislature sits for only 6 more days and the Animal Health Act (which contains the gag order) is being debated right now. The Liberals are going to tried as hard as they can to ram this through. We the people that this govt. serves needs to know that this gag order is BS and must not go through. We need to support the NDP MLA's in fighting it (i.e. tell them to keep fighting) and tell the Premier and the Minister of Agriculture that it must not pass and we need to do it NOW in the next few days before it is too late. Write letters to local papers, people need to know how dangersous this gag order is.

Please use the email links below to send them emails - or better yet, write them letters it is even more powerful.

This gag order shows how powerful the fish farm lobby is in BC. Even the govt's Freedom of Information Office is against this bill - it is an assault on our democratic freedoms to know what kind of harm is taking place around us. Please respond to this important issue NOW!​

The Doobie Brothers had it right - This is over un less we be "Takin' it to the streets." Any protests being organized? I'm starting to admire the Quebec kids.

WitW,
I have written my e-mails to the entire MLA list on the other thread about this proposed bill. Appalling and sinister piece of legislation if ever I saw one.....

Just received this from a letter I wrote:

Thank you for your email regarding the Animal Health Bill 37. We have received many emails regarding this topic and please know that we are informing Bob of the overwhelming public concern with Bill 37. It is important that you express your opinions as a voting citizen and work to have those opinions heard. We suggest that you write your concerns in a letter addressed to the Minister of Agriculture and Lands-Hon. Don McRea, the Agriculture and Lands Critic-Lana Popham, and your local MLA. We would also like to point you towards Lana Popham’s thoughts on this matter that includes an amendment that has been called as a result of voters such as yourself writing letters opposed to Bill 37. http://www.bcagcritic.blogspot.ca/2012/05/animal-health-act-should-not-become-law.html. There has also been a petition set up online at http://www.change.org/SalmonFlu by Alex Morton a lead researcher of salmon farm viruses.
