I just happened to bump into a CTV television show (just finished) - I think it was called "First Point" and is a aboriginal TV show. It had a lengthy discussion about the salmon decline and its inevitable impacts and consequences and interviews with several and diverse stakeholders. Relatively impartial and objective and to the point. Of course, FN were the "most" impacted and it was a little heavy on feeling sorry for them while it was and is ok to plaster the Fraser with gill nets over and over for the last living creature... But beside that little questionable sidekick it was good to see this topic hitting lengthy air time. We NEED more of that!

Hello All
Good News Finally! Peter Julian, Member of Parliament – New Westminster has just launched a petition for a Judicial Inquiry into the Fraser sockeye crash.
CONSIDER THIS: If there had been a Judicial Inquiry into the declining North Atlantic cod, we would have rebuilt that fish stock by now because we would have discovered that the critical research by Dr. Ransom Myers of DFO was being suppressed by DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans).
Here we are again. DFO is completely silent, they have not even acknowledged that the Fraser sockeye crash pattern is extremely specific and provided the media with misinformation.
A judicial inquiry will place people under oath so they can be heard over the politics.
Please go to Peter Julian’s website: http://peterjulian.ndp.ca/node/864
And download the petition document, and sign: http://peterjulian.ndp.ca/sites/def...nquiry on salmon crisis_October 2009.ENG_.pdf
This has to be a paper copy, there can be 1 signature on a page, or a full page of signatures, the address is on the document and postage to the federal government is free.
You cannot say you care about wild salmon if you don’t make this effort. This will make a very big difference in the future of BC and the eastern pacific.
