Read this and see about the on the job deaths you seem to think are funny. And their wonderful labour practices Sidestep. Now there's something to mock about. Maybe you can get in touch with the families and have a good laugh about it. Only I think you'd be the only one that sees humour in that.
Are we really that desperate for the few jobs that we accept this kind of company to run here? Oh, one more little chore for you - go down across the line and tell them that Canada wants their policies changed. Let me know how that works for you ![Roll Eyes ::)](http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

As predicted you have gone into another sob story; however, as Dave correctly pointed out, you and all your fellow fear mongers are quite happy to shop at places that obtain products from 3rd World countries where labour practices are no better......but you mainly like it because the products are much cheaper. That's where your morally and concern for the poor workers in 3rd World countries goes by the wayside. Juan Valdez and his friends get thrown under the bus pretty quick so you can enjoy the great deals, don't kid me. So please, get off your soapbox and stop preaching like you are so concerned for Chilean workers. It is hollow like the rest of your arguments. You (and Pure Salmon Campaign) likely couldn't give a damn about them when you are shopping in Superstore when you pick up those Chilean grapes or those Joe Fresh clothes from Bangladesh. If you are so upset about labour practices in Chile then why don't you complain to those that are ultimately responsible - the Chilean government.
Few jobs? Again, you are so misinformed, NB. Farmed salmon is BC's number one agricultural export and employs 6,000 people directly and indirectly. Go to places on Vancouver Island like Campbell River and tell City Council that it is only a few jobs. Meanwhile they will be happy to know what your plans are to replace a major agricultural export with something else.
Hey there, Swifty.....Seems like you didn't understand your own humour. You are the one that said "Canadian influence on American policy" which I thought was kind of strange thing (and funny) to say because it should be the other way around. I actually paid you a compliment for your humour. Tough crowd.
