I think it's time we started a new thread on the subject to reflect the new news.
"Thousands of 10-pound Atlantic salmon, catch as many as you want!" is old news.
My guess is there will be lots of news in the next few months both pro and con.
Have included these recent posts, just to bring a little continuity.
Do hope Admin is ok with it and lets keep it on track with no personal attacks.

- Oh man, this company is completely embarrassing itself. There are only a few people that feel they actually belong, and that's the owner and the employees. I bet even most of the employees know they shouldn't be in the water.
I do find it odd how quiet the +FF side has been. My guess is they got the call from head office and were told to back down and let the dust settle a bit.

"They're taking that investment away unjustly, and that deserves compensation, and there's a very real possibility that could be arbitrated under NAFTA," Richardson said. "
Lets say Cook take their case to NAFTA.
The argument from the State of Washington will be based around the fact Open Pen Atlantic Salmon Farms present a real danger to their Wild Salmon.
They will probably make a case that not only has there been a dismal record of not allowing escapes but will bring forward all the evidence of disease.
That would go along way to opening the door for our pansy Government officials to move in the same direction.
Maybe just a pipe dream on my part, but what do you think guys of that scenario?

↑ It's not about me, it's about Cooke's threat to take Washington State to a NAFTA ruling it they do not renew their license?
Or if our Fish Farms would take BC to task with our trading agreements if B.C. do not renew Fish Farm licenses?
What do you think?
Does Cooke have a case in the USA and what happens if Canada take the same approach?

Washington urges B.C. to phase out open-net fish farms

So the question remains, will Cooke follow thru with their threat to appeal to NAFTA, if so what will be the defense from Washington State and what will all this mean for B.C.???
"The Washington state senate and house of representatives have recently passed bills that would phase out net-pen farms when their leases come up for renewal over the next seven years.
Each bill passed with about a two-thirds majority."
