Jason Tonelli will be a guest on the Jill Bennett Show Sunday September 8th. He will be talking about Chinook salmon and media messaging around it. He's scheduled to appear at 8:15 a.m. on Sunday.
Just finished listening
Once again Jason was on point and well spoken.
The reality is we have about a month to make this an election issue period.
Dont forget folks come Oct election. The scum thats in power now is doing nothing to create Sustainability in our Salmon runs.

I listened to Jason’s interview this morning. As always, he was very clear on the messaging and clearly spoke to the facts. With people coming back from summer vacation and the season slowing for us, we should be doing more public outreach and protest before the election to bring awareness to the general public.
I has said this on many social platforms and the push back I get is always the same. Harper ripped apart the environmental act and canned DFO biologists and I will never vote conservative again.

Well
The fact is that you Must be uneducated on how this mostly works....
I was part of a group that met with Minister Wilkinson on May 22nd to discuss Chinook closure, possible variances for an opening to retention of Hatchery fish and a recovery plan for upper Fraser stocks. I can go into a lot more detail but I'll cut right to the chase. Wilkinson said if we want an opening we have to get Fraser River First Nations approval. Clearly managing with science and data on this decision went out the window and it was pure political bargaining with Chinook salmon. That's why I will not be voting Liberal.Please educate us on how this mostly works. I don’t disagree on the fact that Wilkinson and co really ****** up this year with mixing their fishery management mandates and reconciliation stuff but I’m interested to understand how that would automatically make Harper’s policies and actions look better.
Can't say I believe any of the parties are in there for the little guy or for protecting wild salmon - or that any of them are immune to corruption and scandal.
However, the assumption that by voting Conservative - is the best choice to preserve fish and fishing opportunity - is simply naive to the point of delusional and flies in the face of the history of the terrible things the Harper regime accomplished: systematically dismantling all the Acts and checks and balances that protected salmon and habitat through undemocratic omnibus bills. Harper and the Conservatives dismantled the Fisheries Act, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, the Navigable Waters Act, the Ports Act, and numerous others. Here's but a brief sampling of that history:

So - I don't see where Harper's puppet would be any better; nor boy-blunder Trudeau neither.
