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/default/files/Petition_A%20call%20for%20an%20independent%20judicial%20inquiry%20on%20salmon%20crisis_October%202009.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.

Excellent!

I'll be sending off my hard copy.

Remember it's to the feds so it doesn't cost you any postage, just a piece of paper and and envelope!

I'd like to see some of our resident fish farm proponents backing this inquiry and putting their money where their mouths are.  This is great news, I hope enough people sign and submit.

Would someone in Chilliwack print off some copies and take them into Fred's Tackle and Chilliwack Dart and Tackle and be responsible for monitoring them and picking them up and sending them in. I would but I will be away for a few days. Also others in other communities could do the same. Please let us know who would be able to do so and what place they will see if the shops will take some. That way we should not have duplication

Thanks

Hey Chris, I'll take care of Chilliwack Dart and Tackle. Gord.

Thanks very much Gord.

[lapetitebuse]

thanks for the info, I'll be sending mine soon

Good stuff Chris !!

I have emailed the petition form to nearly 20 business associates and friends who fish for salmon locally.   
I plan on taking it around my neighbourhood as well.

[Tex]

Already filled mine out, and explained the situation to all of my office mates.
They've all added their names to my hard copy as well.

Things have to start somewhere - I've printed off a copy myself and have a few of my colleagues signatures as well.  Shall be posting it this weekend.

[chris gadsden]

Good stuff all and thanks for getting them in the two Chilliwack shops Gord.

As the Coq. was closed this am because of snow I did not head East so I got the petition in Kent Outdoors in Agassiz today. As far as getting them in I think the best is to monitor the shops and places you have them and when a sheet is filled mail it in to Julian's office. Remember no postage needed.

It would be good if you post how many names you get and when you mail them in. The sooner we get them the better but lets aim for getting most of the names as possible by the end of November and see how it has gone by that date.

Thanks to all that are helping with this.

Thanks for covering this. Anyone close to Berry's Bait and could handle that shop?
