    Gag Order Legislation to Protect Fish Farms

    http://www.theprovince.com/news/info...194/story.html

    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!

    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>

    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.

    speechless I say .... speechless...
    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.

    That really is unbelievable. Where are our protests at getting gagged like this? We need to import a few Quebecois to lead the rallies.

    Now perhaps - just maybe - those on this forum who 'whined' about salmon farming then voted Campbell's Liberals in for another term, may vote differently this time around?

    Do you think a change of Party voted in is going to change the fate of fish farms?

    I doubt it but there's no doubt at this point we are going to find out.

    and who do we vote for? what is the alternative? I try not to vote "against" the conservatives, but since they got a majority it seems that the only strategy that will work is voting liberal so sad that we have so few choices and are tyrannized by a small majority in our very flawed system. Last year I voted green, and Elizabeth May was elected for my riding...should I do that again or vote liberal or NDP in the hopes that another seat will push out the conservative majority? Please tell me I really want to know.
