Whether Morton got DFO and the province to abide by the Canadian Constitution or whether they decided to follow the law on their own is totally irrelevant. The key point is that they are now both following the law as set out in the Canadian Constitution. Can you imagine if everybody did there own thing and didn't follow predefined guidelines like a constitution?

It's just another one of the silly irrelevant points, you and all the feedlot proponents keep bringing up because of the hate you have on for Morton and the work she is doing to reveal the truth about what these feedlot companies are doing to our oceans... 

By the way.....  why did you get chased off that forum?

Thanks for posting that survey as well as the Huffington Post article, and welcome to the discussion!

As you've probably seen, the pro-feedlot crowd isn't all that friendly. When they don't have an answer to a question they act like schoolyard bullies and start throwing insults. Be prepared for it.

 Thanks AF,
 Don't worry, I've seen and heard some of the proponents lies and half-truths for many years, looks like normal business practice for some of them, while others seem cordial and forthright.
Then there are others that expect respect , but often show none, and may be bent on site or thread destruction.

 Apparently, even some of the open-net pen salmon feedlot companies  have trouble meeting their commitments to the banks and hope things improve next year.

 Maybe the reported and destroyed IHN culls here will help support salmon market prices and prove to be a benefit to some farm companies, especially if they are compensated by insurance or the taxpayers. I don't understand why an insurance company would cover these kind of losses though, nor understand why the taxpayers should.
Then some companies , with strong financial backing, will lose money for years till their competition is gone.
 
Thanks again

So true....... 

One of his quotes (taken from another forum): "I'm wondering if you appreciate the concept that insults don't make good arguments for or against anything and that the consistent reliance on them reflects your own shortcomings much more than those of anyone else."

Judging by the content of many of his posts, he believes that applies to everyone but himself.   ???
