Unbelievable - Thank you BC Liberals. If this goes through you cannot even talk publicly about a disease outbreak in a fish farm. – and you thought we still lived in a democracy and have Freedom of Speech.
They would only do that if they had something to hide, personally I believe they do. Normally it is the Government's responsibility to protect the people from unscrupulous buisiness practices, they are not doing that. BOOO!
If you want nothing done,John Duncan is the man for the job.
The people that are running this country are absolutely insane! They must be putting something in the water coolers that is affecting their ability to think and creating a stupidity outbreak at the "stupidity farm". Oh Sh!t, am I allowed to talk about this publicly? I just mentioned a stupidity outbreak and farm in the same sentence on a public forum.
Truely amazing! Just when you thought that things couldn't get any more idiotic, our politicians step up to the plate and put another one out of the park. Well done you freaking morons.
The difference between a Dictatorship and a Democracy is: In a Dictatorship, you Do what you are told. In a Democracy, you are Free to Do what you are told.
Tips Up! And Tight Lines!
That's outrageous!!! How can they (The Libs), if this is true, even remotely believe this is a good idea and what this may do to them in public opinion polls. On the brink of election time and they shoot themselves in the foot almost daily. Not that I was ever a fan but holy cow.
Where has common sense gone and it makes my hair stand on end to think where this stupidity will all end. <head shake>
Welcome to communism.

But it's your "free enterprise" party?Originally Posted by lorneparker1
I guess nobody equates that to freedom of information.
Control, Control, Control.
That seems to be what they are all about - including the buggers in Ottawa.
URGENT ACTION NEED NOW!!!!
If we don't get off our butts right now on this new legislation, it will be too late.
The BC Liberals meet in Nanaimo next weekend to discuss policy. Get to them NOW with your letters and emails conderning Fish Farms AND the Animal Protectin Act which will silence Alex and all her supporters (or throw us in Jail)
Email the opposition as well...let them know there are votes at stake in the next election!!!!
Comon guys...do it, do it now and do it often!!!! and POST YOUR MESSAGES JUST TO ENCOURAGE THE SLOW TO MOVE GUYS!!
Here is one of many I've sent..a letter as well as countless emails to all these MLA'S headed "I urge you to stop this insanity".....
They don't have to be rude or nasty!

Dear Mr. McRae
In reading the story on page two of today's Times Colonist I am concerned that your proposed legislation, "The Animal Health Act" will forbid public access to information and prohibit open discussion of disease outbreaks in animals.
Violators will be subject to large fines and up to two years in jail.
It appears this legislation is a result of the recent outbreaks of disease in fish farms and publicity surrounding this serious problem.
It is hard for me to understand how keeping farmed fish or any other animal disease outbreaks a secret is in the public's best interest.
In defending the proposed legislation you are reported as saying "it will help to prevent the publicizing of inaccurate information, and encourage farmers to report a disease outbreak to the ministry instead of trying to hide it."
From what you say, the problem seems to be the farmers you refer to, do, have and are prepared to hide disease outbreaks from the Government and the public. ("trying to hide it" as you put it).
Wouldn't legislation forbidding any framer from hiding or failing to do proper testing for disease make more sense?
For your Government to proceed with this legislation in its present form is at best ill-advised at worse, scandalous.
I ask you to please reconsider your position on this subject before irreconcilable damage is done.
Here are all the email addresses...please email AND write (even better)

In the old days the press would be all over this and make them look like fools.
Good luck trying to hide your fish farm virus now as the word will get out.
We will have members, from Alberta, reporting for us.
