60 Minutes news program normally does a good job on exposing the bare bones facts.
Wonder what spin or edit or what side the show will major on.

Big audience & definitely will watch the up coming program or at least record it should there be a NHL play off game on.
Got more than 1 tv.

Thanks for the heads up.
( I will not eat a farm salmon, nor a wild one. The ocean is the world's garbage dump. Chemicals plastics & nuclear wastes plus spilled oil. Heard something that floating plastics / garbage is swirling in the N Pacific. If my ears did not trick me, it is the size of Alberta. But catch & release is fun & fish in fresh water lakes may be better to consume)

After reading the "backgrounder" I , 2x will not eat farm salmon.
Slice & peroxide to control lice.
Only done by a lic. vet.
( sounds kinda like Elvis & Michael Jackson's doctors )

By the spin or the guidelines of the 60 Minutes backgrounder read, the program seems to promote farm salmoning.
We'll see on Sunday.
Wonder if moms will be having a farm salmon dinner? ( Mother's Day )

Great the Dr spent some quality time with Alexandra.
Sure do not want to miss recording this up coming 60 Minutes program.
Miss Morton speaks calmly & volumes. Think the Dr. Has a good brain & character to see the true facts.
Is it New Zealand & Australia that have banned farmed salmon.
Right there raises a billion red flags for the world to see.

Definitely must watch TV.  From the clips I saw, Roberts seemed hopefully confident his message got across ...  Almo, not so much.
Looking forward to this.

Wonder why they did not trace Fisherbob down and interview him or her. ;D ;D ;D

--Just finished watching the show... OK... but not much there to draw conclusions either way.
--I like the farm... its not like the bad old days... spin. I thought when they first went in there were no problems and even if there were we were state of the art.

--I'm not overly excited about the Alaska model either with the rancher analogy.. I think we have lots of evidence of over grazing in the good old days of ranching as well.

--I had a salad for supper with some grilled chicken...after watching food inc. last night... not so sure that was a good choice either. Probable pesticides on the spinach and the chicken may only have been 59 days old.

--Our garden is planted with heirloom veggies...and with a bit of selective harvest from local area we should get a month of decent food but are stuck for the rest of the year

--Off on a tangent there.. but I doubt the show would change anyones mind.

From Alex
"60 Minutes did a great job. It was incredible to me that Brian Wallace, senior lawyer with the Cohen Commission was SO flustered by the question about whether ISA virus is in BC."

Not surprising at all Alex .. what was incredible to me was 60 Minutes would interview a lawyer about ISA ... why didn't they talk to a non partial scientist?

Nothing gained for either side with this 20 minutes, imo.

x2

I thought it was interesting that AM stated that she did not know if salmon farms were or were not causing harm.  A tough question indeed.
