Salmon Farms: Government Chooses Greed Over Truth

Government is often faced with choices. Choices that determine the future of our lives, our children lives and, at times, the future of an entire ecosystem. We have elected these "representatives" so you would think they might choose the path that benefits us, the people. It would be at this time that someone might inform you that we live in a corporatocracy. Greed is the driving force behind our "officials'" decisions. These spineless men and women lack any sort of moral compass or courage. They won't stand up to their corporate masters. The game is rigged now and they are just PR props convincing us to play along and get caught in the false left-right paradigm.

I am ranting because I am beyond tired of the lies and corruption! Those words don't even hold any weight anymore. They ring like liberty bells in empty chambers where there is no one listening. Everyone is in the other room listening to pop music, sports and news casters and political bobble heads. My generation has been lied to since birth. As I have grown up and become a man that lying has only intensified. The lies have gotten bigger, bolder and more ingrained into the mass psyche. 

Salmon Confidential is a documentary that lifts the veil to expose how the Canadian government is covering up the cause behind BC’s rapidly dwindling wild salmon population. A summary of the film reads: “When biologist Alexandra Morton discovers BC’s wild salmon are testing positive for dangerous European salmon viruses associated with salmon farming worldwide, a chain of events is set off by government to suppress the findings.

Tracking viruses, Morton moves from courtrooms, into British Columbia’s most remote rivers, Vancouver grocery stores and sushi restaurants. The film documents Morton’s journey as she attempts to overcome government and industry roadblocks thrown in her path and works to bring critical information to the public in time to save BC’s wild salmon.”

Get informed and find out the real story. Our politicians are relying on your ignorance. 

Common Ground wrote an amazingly informative piece on the documentary Salmon Confidential.
