The following link contains information about the Norwegian perspective on the connection between salmon farms, disease issues and politics in Norway. Canadian media must readjust their priorities to provide more coverage of the Cohen Commission and wild salmon-related issues.

Please follow this link to further information on the Norwegian perspective of the connection between salmon farms, disease issues and politics in Norway. We do not need to prove this here in BC.

I was one of the presenters at the public forum in Victoria on Sept 16. There were several comments at the venue regarding the almost complete lack of media coverage before and during the event. If we trusted our government to actually be working for us this could be excused as a non event in a news day filled with the glaring reports of the rape of a sixteen year old girl at a teenage party. The media and the government need to get their priorities re-adjusted. Can we rely on the Cohen Commission to accomplish this?
