This morning's e-mail brought in a couple of messages that I found both interesting and informative. The first is an article that is in the Times Colonist about Salmon Farming.
The author, Terry Anderson, founder of the Wild Salmon Alliance, states that the government's present position towards Salmon Farming makes no sense for B.C. citizens and our wild salmon stocks. It is worth taking a few minutes to read this at:

The second is a copy of a letter written by the Glen Valley Watershed's Society and sent to the politicians running for election in this area, Rick Coleman, Gail Chaddock-Costello and Travis Erbacher. It is about water quality and gives some issues that we should be bringing to the attention of our political representatives. We and they must remember that is the position they are vying for! I've been told since reading this one that the government will respond that they already have a water policy. The thing they won't mention though is that it will not be implemented until 2012. "Why" you might ask? The reason might just be that by then the Independent Power Projects will all be at the stage where they can be grandfathered in, even through they will not meet the standards in the new water policy. Seems there are a lot of things that we just don't understand.
