  1. I’m still waiting for you to post the legal permits that you would have to have for taking samples. I assume your not posting them as proof you have a right to take samples because you don’t actually have any permits? I also think if your going to ask for money it might be a good idea to post an accurate list of exactly how much money you receive and how it is spent.

  2. Alexandra:
    The path is now clear: they want war. However, the BC Liberal and Federal governments and their soulless, money-grubbing foreign conglomerate bedfellows are digging their own graves.
    Their timing could not be more self-deprecating; just at the occurrence of one of the most publicized infectious disease outbreaks and associated quarantine events in the history of the local industry, the conspirators have chosen to effect this draconian legislative wall against all concerned, apparently in reaction to these concurrent events. The corrupt motives and objectives behind Bill 37 should be obvious and offensive to all but the most morally and ethically blind.
    Now is the time to organize mass boycotts of the diseased and corrupt BC farmed salmon industry, both nationally and worldwide.
    Let’s focus on their key American consumer base, together with the US west coast wild fisheries industry, affiliated government entities and their representatives, and the environmentally concerned, all of whom are at once being impacted and indiscriminately shunted in so far as international cooperation and transparency regarding epidemic disease control and information are concerned — and that to which is internationally legislated and mandated, and is being violated as of now. There are potentially vast numbers of Americans who are or will be highly concerned and disconcerted (read “pissed-off”) with our recent legislative and administrative developments.*
    The industry’s critical proposed Chinese and Asian markets must be addressed; much of their desperate motions of denial and obfuscation, particularly regarding the ISA virus perception, are to protect these prime, lucrative long-term commercial objectives. Let’s take the issues directly to the international authorities, where such morally and legally unacceptable behavior shall not be condoned, and whereby motions can be well publicized. Let’s directly write and vent our mutual concerns to the Chinese and respective Asian governments and their affiliated consumer associations, as well as concerned groups and individuals, to close off those potential resources.
    Let’s initiate these actions and others within the public forum before Bill 37 becomes truly effective. This unconstitutional proposal, as it now stands, must be blocked in legislature and the courts for as long as possible, and by any means necessary by concerned parties, until it is either acceptably amended, or curtailed altogether.

  3. Just curious Alex, do you condone your followers calling women a c**t because that is what a couple are calling Annie Paddle in a public forum. I would like to think as a woman you have a little more class than that. That type of behaviour is going a little too far.

  4. You not only targeted the Salmon farms you targeted the shellfish growers in BC now we are no longer considered farmers but fisherman.
    A green industry which has cost thousands of extra dollars. I guess that is ok just a little collateral damage, but of course it wasn’t your money you spent but others. You aren’t so different then what you are fighting against you want to win at all costs and who cares what other industries you negatively impact in the process. It is one thing to be righteous in your fight against disease and protecting peoples health but quite another when you don’t care who else you are hurting in your quest. When you ask for money for donations for your fight you should also impart information about what other industries that you are going to negatively impact.
